The Dallas Cowboys would consider trading away their 2016 first round pick to acquire a game-changing running back or a blue-chip defensive talent.

"I'd be reluctant to, but certainly if the right situation came along that could improve us now, with where we are with (35-year-old quarterback) Tony Romo, his career and where we are with what we've put together, it's a good time to go for it," Jerry Jones said, per Fox Sports Southwest.

The Cowboys had appeared to be uninterested in trading for Adrian Peterson, but those comments could open the door.

The Cowboys essentially acquired an additional first round pick in signing La'el Collins.
