That&#8217;s impossible when you have a superstar like CeeDee Lamb, but the remaining options do not inspire confidence.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">That is why it was so surprising they did not draft a receiver this past weekend. Feeling the urgency, though, Dallas is giving a hard look at signing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelandryhat.com\/cowboys-eyeing-dream-wr-solution-after-nfl-draft-misfire-amari-cooper-01jsz1fz2aww\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/thelandryhat.com\/cowboys-eyeing-dream-wr-solution-after-nfl-draft-misfire-amari-cooper-01jsz1fz2aww\">n<\/a>one other than Amari Cooper, who is a free agent after finishing the season in Buffalo after Cleveland moved him at the deadline.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram\u00a0reported there is &#8220;building team interest&#8221; to bring Cooper back after the Cowboys laughably traded him to the Browns for a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick swap after the 2021 season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">It is unknown if Cooper would sign with Dallas, but their paths got closer to crossing on Monday when\u00a0the Steelers signed veteran Robert Woods\u00a0to a one-year, $2 million deal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Cowboys inch closer to Amari Cooper reunion after Robert Woods signs with Steelers<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">While notable amidst Dallas&#8217; bubbling Cooper interest, Woods wasn&#8217;t the only vet receiver to find a home. The Browns agreed to terms with Diontae Johnson, whom many circled as a potential Cowboys target leading up to the 2024 trade deadline.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It is not a surprise to see Woods and Johnson sign so soon after the NFL Draft. Accomplished wideout Tyler Lockett signed with the Titans right before the draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It wasn&#8217;t a strong receiver class by any stretch of the imagination. That almost vindicates Dallas bypassing the position altogether despite picking nine times. Nevertheless, don&#8217;t be surprised if other vets start flying off the board. The biggest names left, in addition to Cooper, include Keenan Allen, Nelson Agholor and Tyler Boyd.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Cooper, by far, is the most intriguing of that group. While he isn&#8217;t the perennial Pro Bowler he was when he last donned a Dallas uniform, the Cowboys should be throwing a part if they end up with Cooper as their WR2.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_6\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Not only is he as crafty as any wideout, but he&#8217;s familiar with several members of the roster, including Dak Precott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons. It is not crazy to think the locker room would be in favor of a Cooper reunion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The Cowboys need to sign Cooper as soon as possible. The veteran WR market is heating up as expected after the draft and Cooper should be highly courted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">There&#8217;s already a relationship here. It shouldn&#8217;t be long until we have our answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys v Cleveland Browns | Jason Miller\/GettyImages The Dallas Cowboys don&#8217;t have the worst wide receiver room in the NFL.
