Dallas Cowboys: 3 Safety targets at NFL Trade Deadline

There were some discussions this offseason about Reshad Jones being available In a trade. The Miami Dolphins ended up telling him he wouldn’t be traded this year, but the notion of him being on the move has resurfaced. And the possibility of moving him makes a whole lot of sense for both the team and the player.

Jones was selected in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft but Miami and has developed into one of the better safeties in the league. Now in his 10th season, Jones has 760 tackles, 21 interceptions, 55 pass breakups, and 10.5 sacks. He’s been named to two Pro Bowls as well during his career and started this season strong with 21 tackles in three games before suffering a chest injury.

Miami hopes he can return soon but the fact is, he’s a solid player on a terrible team. Sitting at 0-7, Miami has already began their fire sale. They traded Robert Quinn to Dallas and Kenny Stills to the Houston Texans to kick off the sale. Recently, they were back at it as they sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for them to keep Jones when they could get something of value in return for the veteran player. As for Jones, he deserves a shot at making the postseason and there’s no way that’s happening anytime soon in South Beach.
