Open Market: Should the Cowboys go overboard at wide receiver?
In Frisco, TX, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a contrasting situation between their linebacker corps, which is struggling, and their overflowing talent at the wide receiver position.
With CeeDee Lamb firmly established as WR1, backed by promising players like Jalen
Tolbert, the team seems well-stocked.
The question arises: should they maintain the status quo or go for overkill?
The Cowboys have a history of investing heavily in receivers, such as using
first-round picks on Lamb and trading for Amari Cooper.
Lamb’s exceptional performance has positioned him for a lucrative contract
extension, while the presence of veterans like Brandin Cooks adds depth and mentorship.
Young talents like Tolbert and Reggie Brooks are also emerging, alongside rookies
like David Durden, who is returning from injury. Michael Gallup, though experienced, needs to demonstrate
more consistency to justify his salary.
While the depth chart behind Lamb remains uncertain, exploring the free agency market could offer potential additions. Notably, there’s speculation around Tier A talents like Mike Evans, although such
signings could strain the salary cap.
Alternatively, options like Gabriel Davis and Curtis Samuel offer intriguing
possibilities at a potentially lower cost. However, players like Odell Beckham Jr. and Michael
Pittman Jr. may not fit the Cowboys’ needs or scheme.
Ultimately, while the Cowboys possess considerable talent at the receiver position,
there’s room for strategic additions if they choose to further bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
