The Swans secured a back-up ruck in Mark Seaby from West Coast on Monday, in a three-way trade that saw Amon Buchanan and Brent Staker become Brisbane Lions, and Bradd Dalziell become an Eagle.
Coach Paul Roos is realistic about Seaby's ability to cover for Jolly, with the only remaining back-ups emerging ruckmen Daniel Currie, Mike Pyke and rookie Jake Orreal.
"We will [trade for another ruckman]. We've got Seaby in for a Jolly-Seaby combination, so we will if that happens," Roos said as the Swans departed Etihad Stadium on Monday.
Collingwood has put forward the only offer for Jolly so far, but the Swans have baulked at the Magpies' proposal of pick No.14 in the NAB AFL Draft.
Roos said nothing had changed between the two clubs after day one of trade week.
"We're just waiting; there's no panic from our point of view," he said.
"If we can get the deal done by the end of the week, we'll try and help Darren out."
Roos reiterated Jolly, who played in the Swans' two recent grand finals – including their 2005 premiership win – wasn't disgruntled with the club and simply wanted to return home.
"We've had some dialogue with him this year. He loves the club and we're aware that being in Sydney, a lot of the players are away from their families," he said.
"When you have two young kids, it is hard. A lot of players go through it.
"He's not uncommitted to the club; he loves the footy club, but he has some issues and he needs to get home and get some support.
"If we can't trade him, we'll sit down at the end of the week and work through it."
On Monday morning, Roos said Carlton forward Brendan Fevola was far from the Swans' radar.
"We'd like to do one [trade] and then assess what you do with whatever pick," he said.
"Really we haven't thought about Fev at all, to be honest."
