Cowboys trade up with Cardinals for 14.5-sack edge rusher

Todd McShay believes the Dallas Cowboys are a prime candidate to trade up to No. 3 with the Arizona Cardinals to secure Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey.

After transferring from Stanford, Bailey posted a breakout 2025-26 campaign, recording 14.5 sacks and helping Texas Tech reach the College Football Playoff. While not an instant superstar, his explosiveness and upside make him an attractive target for Dallas' defensive needs.
