The Cowboys made their first outside acquisition of the season, and it wasn’t a free agent signing. Almost out of nowhere, they traded for veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore. After spending the 2022 season with the Colts, Gilmore now heads to Dallas in exchange for a fifth round pick.

Gilmore was the tenth overall pick in the 2012 draft out of South Carolina, selected by the Bills four spots after the Cowboys took Morris Claiborne.
