Cowboys Nearing Deal to Trade for Dolphins Edge Rusher With More Sacks Than Micah Parsons

Dallas, TX – October 2, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys may soon get the pass-rushing boost they desperately need. Sources around the league indicate the team is nearing a trade with the Miami Dolphins involving veteran edge rusher Bradley Chubb.

After sending Micah Parsons to Green Bay earlier this year, Dallas has been left exposed defensively. Through four games, the Cowboys rank second-worst in points allowed per game and own just five total sacks.

Bradley Chubb, a two-time Pro Bowler, has quietly delivered a strong start to 2025. With three sacks already, he has outproduced Parsons this season while showing flashes of the disruptive power that once made him elite.

League insiders believe the framework is nearly in place. The proposed deal would send Chubb to Dallas in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick, with Miami expected to absorb part of his significant contract.

Chubb, 29, has battled injuries throughout his career but has remained a proven difference-maker when healthy. He posted 11 sacks in 2024 and has recorded at least 7.5 sacks in four separate campaigns.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, appear ready to consider a move. Sitting at 1-3, the franchise is weighing whether to reset its roster, and Chubb’s age and massive $31 million cap hit complicate long-term planning.

For the Cowboys, the gamble comes down to belief. Despite defensive struggles, the offense has kept the team competitive. Adding Chubb could provide much-needed pressure and keep postseason hopes alive in a shaky NFC.

If finalized, the deal would mark a bold midseason swing by Jerry Jones. Dallas fans clamoring for defensive reinforcements may finally see the franchise move aggressively to repair a unit left reeling since Parsons’ departure.
