Trade deadline approaching

The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday.
Last year the Cowboys pulled off the Roy Williams deal with Detroit, getting the particulars worked out on a napkin in time to send in to the NFL before the deadline.
If there is one thing the NFL doesn't do as well as baseball it's the trade deadline. The NFL loves to chew up air time and print and Web space with free agency and Combine coverage, but the trade deadline is often an afterthought. With the salary cap it is difficult for teams to make moves with signing bonus prorations and things like that. It's too bad.
Anyway, I'm not going to ask should the Cowboys make a move, but I will ask what move would you like to see the Cowboys make?
And be real on this. Don't say, Bring back Terrell Owens or trade their seventh-round pick for Julius Peppers. Think about the other team on these deals and what they would want in return.
I'm looking for a pressure player off the edge because clearly they don't trust Victor Butler yet in tight game situations.
