Emmitt Smith has an idea of how the Dallas Cowboys can revamp the offense, and it starts with trading for a superstar, 6x All-Pro wide receiver.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0approach to the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0offseason will be interesting to watch. The team has 25 players set to hit free agency in a matter of weeks and several areas of need on the roster.<\/p>\n

Two of the most commonly mentioned offseason needs for the Cowboys are running back and wide receiver.<\/p>\n

Starting running back Rico Dowdle is among the Cowboys’ free agents, while No. 2 wide receiver Brandin Cooks will also be hitting the open market.<\/p>\n

There are opportunities for Dallas to address their issues in free agency or the\u00a0NFL Draft, but Cowboys legend and NFL all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith has a different idea.<\/p>\n

Smith suggests the Cowboys make a trade for Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who was disgruntled at the end of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

“Maybe we need to go after Tyreek Hill, someone that can go down the field and give CeeDee Lamb a chance to work underneath,” Smith said, via the\u00a0Dallas Morning News<\/em>. “And develop a stronger tight end situation. I think the one we got right now is pretty good.”<\/p>\n

It would be an interesting move and give Dallas the threat it needs to stretch the field, but at what cost?<\/p>\n

Hill led the NFL in receiving yards and was the co-leader in receiving touchdowns in 2023, but took a step back in 2024. He recorded 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns, his worst output since 2019 with the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
