Going into NFL Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys could've been as justified to have been thought of as
"buyers'' before the Nov. 1 trade deadline as the Pittsburgh Steelers could've been thought of as "sellers.''

There is a lingering perception that Dallas needs to trade for another wide receiver, and in terms of what the audience thinks, a Steelers wideout is a match.
It is along those lines that Bleacher Report recently suggested that Dallas pursue Chase Claypool. B/R's thinking?
“The Pittsburgh Steelers could be another seller at the deadline after a dreadful 1-4 start,” B/R wrote.
“The Cowboys could offer a fresh start in a better situation to the young receiver. He could be the physical,
possession receiver to complement the speedy Michael Gallup and shifty CeeDee Lamb. That would make the offense scary to opposing secondaries again.”
B/R has at least one thing right there: Claypool, selected by the Steelers in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, is 6-4 and 238. So "physical'' is accurate.
What about his other numbers? The argument going into the weekend is that those numbers are shrinking. Of course, things change.
Claypool as a rookie: 62 receptions for 873 and nine touchdowns.
