Unless there is a better bargain there, the Cowboys might turn their nose on that proposition. But there are reasons other than the price that are reasonable cause for concern.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas at least claims they are in a win-now mode. Signing a 31-year old receiver to any deal coming off a significant injury and entrusting them to become a trusted No. 2 receiver in a new system is quite the gamble.<\/p>\n<p>The risks of that play are compounded when considering new head coach Brian Schottenheimer will be calling plays for the first time with the Cowboys next season.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a world at a lower price where Dallas sees value and wants to bring him on? Absolutely. Diggs could very well elevate this offense&#8217;s passing game if he gets the chance next season.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the financials have to work for both parties here and that could be the dividing line that prevents the Diggs brothers from sharing a team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefon Diggs will be a touted wide receiver prospect in this year&#8217;s NFL free agency class, but there is one big thing that may prevent him from&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
