DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Could the Dallas Cowboys finally have an ideal trade partner for disgruntled defensive end Taco Charlton?
A Taco Charlton for Minkah Fitzpatrick-based trade makes sense (DAL would need to add more obviously). MIA needs edge help bad and DAL should be aggressive in the safety market.

September 13, 2019 Several writers, notably Mike Clay of ESPN, say that a Cowboys and Miami Dolphins Minkah Fitzpatrick-Taco Charlton type swap makes sense.
The Cowboys are loaded on the defensive line, which led to Charlton being inactive in Week 1, and Fitzpatrick reportedly received permission to seek a trade after the Dolphins 59-10 blowout loss at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens last week.
Dallas likes what they have in Xavier Woods, Donovan Wilson and Jeff Heath, but Fitzpatrick would no doubt be an upgrade to the Cowboys secondary.
Now that Minkah Fitzpatrick has asked/received permission to seek a trade, I’m interested to see what Dolphins do if they can’t get the exact significant return they desire. Minkah is valuable, versatile & talented. Would they keep an unhappy player or is a trade inevitable now?

September 13, 2019 According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the 2018 first-round pick is in attendance at Miami's practice Friday, despite the trade rumors.
Miami is reportedly looking for a first-round pick in any Fitzpatrick deal, but might they take a third, or a second-rounder, in addition to Charlton? Dallas Cowboys insider Bryan Broaddus has suggested on 105.3 The Fan that Dallas can get a fifth-round pick for Charlton, so the Cowboys would have some work to do there to land the safety.
One thing that we know, for sure, is that Charlton isn't being shy about his desire to leave Dallas.
The waiting game ⏳

September 12, 2019 The former first-round pick out of Michigan tweeted an 'hourglass' emoji on Thursday, seemingly a sign that he's waiting for a resolution on his situation with the Cowboys. He also scrubbed his account of any link to the team.
