Deal Cleared: The Cowboys successfully trade Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz before the deadline.

With the NFL trade deadline less than two weeks away, rumors have ramped up exponentially in the past few days. The Dallas Cowboys’ plan at the deadline is simple: add whatever is needed to finally get over the playoff hump.
