TheĀ Dallas CowboysĀ are bolstering their receiving core following a remarkable NFL Draft from start to finish.
According to DallasCowboys.com writer Patrik Walker, the franchise signed a 27-year-old WR who won a Super Bowl as a rookie alongside future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom BradyĀ (theĀ Tampa Bay BuccaneersĀ defeated theĀ Kansas City ChiefsĀ 31-9 in Super Bowl LV).
āComing out of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys wore ear-to-ear smiles as they immediately turned their attention to free agency, of both theĀ undrafted and veteran variety, looking to add ā10-12 players to round out the rosterā ā three of those seats being awarded to experienced talent that include Marquez Valdes-Scantling.ā
āValdes-Scantling, a 31-year-old journeyman looking to make an impact for the Cowboys in 2026, is signing a one-year deal with Dallas, in addition to two others, namely, wide receiver Tyler Johnson and linebacker Curtis Robinson, who are also signing one-year deals.ā
After spending two seasons with the Buccaneers and two with theĀ Los Angeles Rams, Johnson joined theĀ New York JetsĀ for the 2025-26 season. In 12 games with New York, Johnson contributed 197 receiving yards and one touchdown.
With rumors circulating that the Cowboys could trade All-Pro wide receiver George Pickens after long-term contract negotiations fell short, signing Johnson is a calculated move that could eventually pay dividends for the organization.
