The Cowboys cut Traeshon Holden and Jalen Brooks at the 53, then mined the practice squad for depth while Jonathan Mingo lands on injured reserve, thinning their WR room even more. Dallas leans Javonte Williams as lead back with Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue behind him, a trio that may not scare defenses. Bleacher Report floated a bold Jets swap: Jalen Tolbert plus a 2026 fourth for Breece Hall, banking on New York’s three-man backfield and Fields’ rushing upside to justify the capital shift. Tolbert’s 610-yard, 49-catch 2024 shows a spark, but game-day use could hinge on Mingo’s health. Hall tallied 1,139 scrimmage yards and 8 TDs last year, in the final contract year, and the Jets may cash in draft capital if they don’t plan to keep Hall in free agency. The decision trades off one side’s WR depth for the other’s RB firepower, and fantasy rosters will ride that risk graph as the season nears.

Holden and Brooks’ presence suggests Cowboys still value athletic upside over immediate output, while Mingo’s IR opens a path for Tolbert to reclaim a role if he earns snaps. For fantasy, Tolbert could swing into Jets’ WR targets if the trade happens, but Hall would temper his volume in New York unless the backfield shakes out in a way that restores lead work. In any case, the landscape favors players with clear paths to touches and special teams upside, while others pivot on depth chart moves that could alter value by week.
