If the Dallas Cowboys want to bolster the wide receiver room with a veteran presence, there is one familiar face who is still available after the NFL draft.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys’ 2025\u00a0NFL draft\u00a0class has been well-received, everyone continues to point out how the team failed to address the lack of depth at wide receiver during the draft.<\/p>\n

Dallas did add some undrafted free agents to the roster following the final round, but there is still a major room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear that the team\u00a0could still make a move for a veteran wideout through free agency or the draft, with one name continuing to pop up.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0USA Today Sports, one potential target for the Cowboys could be former Dallas star receiver Amari Cooper.<\/p>\n

“Sure, Cooper has played for the Cowboys in the past, but a return to Dallas makes a ton of sense for both sides,” Cory Woodruff wrote. “The team needs depth at receiver, and Cooper could use a rebound season after a quiet 2024.”<\/p>\n

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’ wide receiver depth has been a question.<\/p>\n

Cooper was a four-time Pro Bowler in Dallas with two 1,000 yard seasons.<\/p>\n

While he is coming off of a down year and has bounced around to multiple teams, perhaps a return to Dallas could be just what he needs to revive his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
