Two of the most commonly mentioned positions are wide receiver and running back.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2ydh66de4\">Dallas&#8217; offense needs to add to its all-around attack, with a lack of receiver depth behind CeeDee Lamb and zero depth behind Rico Dowdle.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5tciqkynh\">While the Cowboys could certainly address either of those positions with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, there is also free agency where a familiar face will be available.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5drafutu3\">Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report shared his top 50 free agents entering Wild Card weekend along with their possible fits, and none other than Amari Cooper has been mentioned as a player who could land in Big D.<\/p>\n<div data-mm-id=\"_z669d02mt\">\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_2104,h_1402,x_0,y_36\/c_fill,w_620,ar_3:2,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/cowboys_country\/01jh6fcbtv6s528bj6xj.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_c1o4m6675\">&#8220;A return to Dallas could also make some sense,&#8221; he writes. &#8220;The Cowboys don&#8217;t have a young signal-caller, but they need a legitimate No. 2 receiver opposite CeeDee Lamb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_eil7u95zy\">The Cowboys made a highly-criticized trade of Cooper in 2022, sending him to the Browns for a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick swap. Since then, the Cowboys&#8217; wide receiver depth has been a question.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_vd5jba06f\">Cooper was a four-time Pro Bowler in Dallas with two 1,000 yard seasons.<\/p>\n<div data-mm-id=\"_5p3iqk9m8\">\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3742,h_2494,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_3:2,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/cowboys_country\/01jh6fez6kttv3shjhky.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ux3vw9dq5\">He got off to a hot start with the Browns, recording back-to-back 70+ reception and 1,000-yard seasons, but after a slow start in 2024 he was traded to the Buffalo Bills. Cooper finished the 2024 campaign with 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_mubfv9unq\">With a return to Dallas and plenty of talent around him, Cooper would be worth pursuing to round out the offense.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_78k8bsb2j\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the Dallas Cowboys want to pair CeeDee Lamb with another talented wide receiver, they could pursue a player the franchise is very familiar with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9848","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 -
