It was floated out there. Then the Cowboys heard the numbers, and they were numbers the Cowboys weren\u2019t going to get to.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cowboys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cowboys<\/a> Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb tried recruiting Cooper Kupp to Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>When the price got too high, it was a no go.<\/p>\n<p>(\ud83c\udfa5: @ AdamSchefter podcast) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y7BpMhfoGt\">pic.twitter.com\/Y7BpMhfoGt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brandon Loree (@Brandoniswrite) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Brandoniswrite\/status\/1902106497900757184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Reports prior to Kupp\u2019s signing suggested the wide receiver was looking for $15 million annually. That turned out to be precisely what he got from the Seattle Seahawks. Clearly, the Cowboys were unwilling to go anywhere near that.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas\u2019 stance is somewhat understandable. The team has plenty of needs, but wide receiver is not one of their most glaring ones. Kupp may have helped the Cowboys, and they were clearly interested in him, but that $15 million could probably be spent somewhere that would help the team more.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott might be the one most disappointed by the failed pursuit of Kupp. While the Cowboys have added some players on offense, they have largely been second-tier free agents largely meant to replace other players the team has lost. The offense does not really look any better than it did at the end of the 2024 season, though getting Prescott and Lamb healthy should be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a relatively quiet free agent period for the Cowboys, with players making more noise on the way out than anything else. Dallas\u2019 unwillingness to spend big, justified or not, is a big part of why that has been the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott made a big effort to try to bring a top free agent to the team, but fell short after his own organization decided<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
