The Dallas Cowboys have wasted no time in exploring major moves after their secondary was exposed in Week 2, and now they’ve set their sights on a potential blockbuster.

According to multiple reports, the Cowboys are in discussions to acquire Cleveland Browns cornerback

Greg Newsome II, a former first-round pick who has quietly become one of the NFL’s most versatile young defensive backs.

Dallas’ interest comes at a time when Daron Bland’s injury has left their defense vulnerable, despite escaping with a win over the New York Giants. Stephen Jones has already acknowledged the need for reinforcements, emphasizing the importance of players “buying into the scheme.”

The proposed trade package would send a second-round and fourth-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Newsome II, with the Cowboys also taking on the remainder of his rookie contract. For Cleveland, who appear to be considering a reset after another rough start, it may be too tempting to refuse.

Greg Newsome II is off to his best start yet, earning a career-high 76.6 PFF grade, and he brings the ability to play both the boundary and the slot. That kind of flexibility is exactly what Dallas needs as they look to stabilize their secondary.

Even if Bland returns soon, Cowboys insiders believe Newsome would provide immediate impact and long-term upside, helping form one of the NFC’s most formidable cornerback duos.

Still, questions remain. Newsome is set to hit free agency in 2026, and Dallas has historically been reluctant to shell out massive second contracts for non-quarterbacks. But for now, this is a chance to go “all-in” during a season where expectations are sky-high.

If completed, the move would not only fill a glaring defensive need but also send a message across the league: the Cowboys are serious about chasing a Super Bowl this year.
