That should start with upgrading the offense, as the Cowboys had some brutal moments when\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0went down last season on that side of the football.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys haven\u2019t made many blockbuster trades in recent years, but if there\u2019s a time for one, it\u2019s now. If they could land a top 10 wide receiver to help Prescott make plays and open the rest of the offense, this could be a completely different Cowboys team.<\/p>\n<p>Landon Holifield of Athlon Sports proposed a deal that would do just that. His proposal would land\u00a0Garrett Wilson, the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0young star wide receiver.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAmong the top trade targets is Garrett Wilson, who already has ties to Texas as an Austin native. The Jets \u2013 who lack long-term quarterback stability \u2013 could shop Wilson to acquire compensation before they have to make a devision on picking up his club option which would guarantee him almost $17 million in 2026,\u201d\u00a0Holifield wrote.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will the Jets Trade Wilson?<\/h2>\n<p>While the Dallas Cowboys season didn\u2019t go as planned last year, the New York Jets have dealt with seasons like that for far too long.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, it\u2019d only make sense if Wilson gets upset and wants to play for a different team. Would that be the Cowboys? Possibly not, but they\u2019re in a much better position than the Jets to win a Super Bowl in the future.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>New York is still looking for its franchise quarterback, something Dallas has.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Schatz of ESPN predicted the Jets would trade Wilson in February, adding that he was \u201cclearly unhappy\u201d with how the Jets used him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrade wide receiver Garrett Wilson,\u201d Schatz said. \u201cWilson was clearly unhappy with his usage by the end of the season. He should have shined with better quarterback play from veteran Aaron Rodgers, and he did. In fact, Wilson set personal records in receptions (101), yards (1,104) and touchdowns (7). But there was definitely a feeling that Wilson could have done more\u2026<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBut trading Wilson would also mean a fresh start with new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand. Wilson is eligible for a big contract extension, probably around $30 million per year. The Jets can let another team pay that while they undergo a bit of a rebuild, dealing Wilson for as much draft capital as possible,\u201d\u00a0Schatz wrote.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Teams Called on Wilson<\/h2>\n<p>There was some noise about the New York Jets potentially moving Wilson last year prior to the deadline. That was more of other teams being hopeful that the Jets would move him. Not only would the Dallas Cowboys want him, but so would most other teams.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being in a weird position regarding their status, the Jets don\u2019t have a reason to trade him. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, however, calls were made about his availability last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the New York Jets\u2019 acquisition of\u00a0Davante Adams\u00a0this week, a select group of NFL teams have inquired into whether the Jets would be willing to trade fellow star wide receiver\u00a0Garrett Wilson, league sources told ESPN on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jets have heard from other teams but are not planning to trade Wilson, according to sources,\u201d\u00a0Schefter wrote.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the Jets continue to struggle and he becomes available, the Cowboys should do whatever it takes to land him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys are a team to watch in the trade market for Patriots\u2019 QB Joe Milton III, per @jfowlerespn.\u201cThe Patriots are exploring a trade.
