Open Market: Should the Cowboys go overboard at wide receiver?

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.
