In a recent interview, the Cowboys owner, Jones, said, “I knew that they had an interest in trading him. So to that end (no), but I had no idea what he might be (worth). Just didn’t have details. We didn’t get into that.“

Notably, after trading McCaffrey to the Niners, the Panthers will receive a second-round, third-round, and fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and in the 2024 NFL draft, they will get a fifth-round pick.

On the other hand, the Cowboys picked up another win against the Lions, and their star quarterback Dak Prescott returned to the field for the first time after missing five games due to a thumb injury.
