Wow, right after I make a post about how rumors that Offensive Tackle Andrew Whitworth could join the Dallas Cowboys, the next day there is a new rumor about another being traded. This time, it's Tackle Chuma Edoga, from the New York Jets.

Unlike with Whitworth, this trade could most likely occur. This is because the Cowboys have been reaching out to the Jets and trying to acquire Chuma to their team themselves.

Here's a little bit about the big man. He was selected by the Jets in the third round of the 2019 draft and was the 92nd overall pick. Chuma has played in a total of 12 games but starred in none this previous season. Although, in this year's preseason he has shown some improvements in his blocking skills and has been performing better than before.

Now we all know that the biggest problem with the Cowboys right now is their (upon penalties). So would this new player be a good fit for them? At this point, as I have stated in past articles, the Cowboys need as much muscle on the line as they can get.

Trading for Chuma would be a good option just so they can have more choices for their o-line. Now we must look at the next problem of this trade. Do the Jets need Chuma just as much as the Cowboys do?

The New York Jets aren't the “power o-line” team either. As a matter of fact, the Jets had one of their offensive tackles go down to injury, similar to what happened to from the Cowboys. Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, suffered a fracture on his right knee cap and is now likely to miss the rest of the season.

That being said, would the Jets even consider trading Chuma? I believe so, this is because after Mekhi's injury the Jets signed Pro Bowler Duane Brown to their team. He is a great offensive lineman and will be sure to cause an impact on the Jets. That now gives the Jets some more room to trade their other lineman if they wanted.

Those are a lot of offensive lineman names to keep track of. It seems Chuma has a lot more potential than another lineman from the league. Picking him up should be a great addition to the team overall. This week we will be seeing if this trade rumor goes on to become an actual trade.
