Veterans who don\u2019t factor into the future like Dante Fowler, Jalen Tolbert, Luke Schoonmaker, Sam Williams, Malik Hooker, Donovan Wilson, Jack Sanborn, etc\u2026 could all be traded for low-level draft compensation. Doing so wouldn\u2019t just net Dallas a draft return, but it would also clear the way for younger players to get on the field and test their mettle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bye bye Zion Childress<\/p>\n<p>A day after the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/houston-texans\/325\" data-autotag=\"4fdb1a06-1d90-42ff-b7f7-5268ecaf7955\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston Texans<\/a> released safety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elpasotimes.com\/story\/sports\/football\/nfl\/2025\/09\/24\/dallas-cowboys-news-and-rumors-is-cj-gardner-johnson-coming\/86318307007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CJ Gardner-Johnson<\/a>, sparking rumors Dallas could make a move to sign him (it hasn&#8217;t happened year), the Texans picked up cornerback Zion Childress off of Dallas&#8217; practice squad.
