Is a future late-round pick worth giving up depth at receiver?<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Tolbert has not exactly lived up to expectations after a standout college football career at South Alabama. This makes it challenging for Dallas to land anything substantial in a trade for the wideout.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">The Cowboys are talking a lot like buyers ahead of the deadline, but the truth is with a 3-4-1 record, Dallas could also be sellers. Dallas faces an uphill battle to contend this season, especially given how poor the defense has performed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Reveal the Team Is Not Close to Striking a Blockbuster Trade<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys have been all over the place when it comes to discussing potential trades.
