Graziano explained that Green might not be a perfect scheme match for San Francisco’s new defensive coordinator, Raheem Morris, and his 2024 second-round pick status comes with limited production—one interception over two seasons. Solak added that Green’s aggressive style and quickness have yielded double-digit pass breakups in both of his first two seasons, but mental lapses have raised concerns among coaching staff.
The takeaway from the insiders is an 80% likelihood of Green being moved this offseason, with Dallas among the teams viewed as a potential trade destination alongside the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. Green’s contract is favorable for a trade target, as he’s under rookie deal through 2026 with an affordable cap hit, making him an attractive option for a secondary upgrade.
Dallas’s defensive needs remain pronounced as they head into the 2026 offseason. Finishing 30th in yards allowed and last in points yielded in 2025 underscored the urgency to improve the secondary, particularly in pass defense. While edge rushing remains a consideration, the Cowboys could prioritize cornerback depth and upside to support starter DaRon Bland.
If acquired, Green would add youth and a starter’s pedigree to Dallas’s corner rotation, potentially pushing Kaiir Elam and Shavon Revel for significant roles. Both Elam and Revel struggled in 2025, with Revel returning from ACL injury complicating his development. The是否 trade would also signal how Dallas views Revel’s long-term upside and whether additional veteran depth will be pursued in free agency.
Overall, Green’s combination of age, production, and cost makes him a plausible target for the Cowboys, contingent on San Francisco’s willingness to move him and Dallas’s willingness to part with existing assets. The decision could illuminate Dallas’s strategy for shorelining the secondary ahead of the 2026 season.
