The [Dallas Cowboys](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/dallas-cowboys) are being urged to trade a third-year defender for draft capital before the onset of the 2026 NFL season.
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton recently [listed one trade](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25454350-1-trade-each-nfl-team-should-consider-2026-season-starts#id/article/slide/5454346/title) that every NFL team should consider before the season's start, and for Dallas the deal involved moving on from third-year linebacker Marist Liufau.
Cowboys urged to trade Marist Liufau for draft capital
-------------------------------------------------------
Moton suggested that the Cowboys flip Liufau for a late 2027 draft pick given his lack of impact to this point in his career.
"Under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, Liufau will transition to edge-rusher. In two years as an off-ball linebacker, he has been unable to make a significant impact. The former third-rounder has 80 tackles (five for loss), 2.5 sacks and three pass breakups in 34 games (14 starts)," Moton wrote.
"If Liufau struggles with a move to the edge, the Cowboys could shop him before final roster cuts. Teams in need of a rotational pass-rusher may see untapped potential in the 25-year-old at his new position."
