Cowboys preseason trade compensation finalized after first two weeks of season
As the Dallas Cowboys were training out in Oxnard, California they made a few decisions and deals as it related to their roster. The Cowboys executed two trades before the regular season officially arrived in both trading for and trading away a player.
Jordan Phillips was acquired by way of the New York Giants and Peyton Hendershot was sent to the Kansas City Chiefs. Each of these trades involved compensation that carried certain stipulations and we are officially at a place where it has been finalized.
Trade updates:
With Jordan Phillips on 46-man for 2 games, the Cowboys give up their 6th round pick in ’26 to Giants and get NY’s 7th round pick in ’26.
With Peyton Hendershot released by KC, Chiefs will keep ’26 7th round pick since he was not on 53 for 5 games or 46 for 3.

ESPN’s Todd Archer noted on Tuesday morning that with Phillips now appearing on the Cowboys’ gameday roster both games of the season that Dallas will officially send their 2026 sixth-round pick to the Giants and receive their seventh-round pick in that same year in return.
While this next decision did not involve the Cowboys directly, the Chiefs waived Peyton Hendershot on Monday which means that he will not meet the requirements that were in place for Dallas to receive a pick from Kansas City. Nothing there, although Hendershot’s time in Kansas City seemed to be memorable as the Chiefs were fined $100,000 for an altercation that Hendershot had with Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith during the NFL opener.
