This is an I-Heart podcast.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

He is the Monday morning quarterback, senior NFL reporter.

Albert Breer is back.

We always want to know who won and who lost here.

So let's start with that, the immediate reaction to who won the trade deadline.

Oh, you know, that's a good question because I think so many of these teams are in such

different positions.

And so, you know, what the Colts did conceptually is so different than what the Jets did,

you know.

You know, I really actually like where the Cowboys are at now because I think they come out of

the mosaic, right, of the Micah Parsons-Quinn-Williams situation.

And if you, like, really, like, add the whole thing up, right, they got a

year and a half older with a key defensive player. They have a disruptive defensive tackle instead

of a disruptive edge now. They save about $20 million a year on the contract, and they move a second round pick into the first

round. So if you look at the totality of it, if they're able to maximize Quinn and Williams,

now you've got Quentin Williams and Osa Diggi-Zua to be the foundation of your defense

that you're trying to build with Matt Eberfluse there.

Matt Eberflus' best defenses in Indianapolis were built around a dominant defensive tackle

in DeForest Buckner and a really good detackle next to him in Grover Stewart.

And, you know, then, I mean, even you look at the veteran end of it,

they trade a guy in Mazzie Smith, who was a game day inactive for him and get a really good veteran back in Kenny Clark.
