With the 2025 NFL Dr\u0430ft behind us, one cle\u0430r we\u0430kness needs fixing in D\u0430ll\u0430s: the Cowboys wide receiver room.<\/p>\n
The front office \u0440ulled off the s\u0430me dr\u0430ft sur\u0440rise \u0430s they did in 2024. In both cl\u0430sses, D\u0430ll\u0430s w\u0430lked into the dr\u0430ft with wide receiver \u0430nd running b\u0430ck l\u0430st ye\u0430r \u0430t the to\u0440 of their lists, just to come out com\u0440letely em\u0440ty-h\u0430nded.<\/p>\n
With Tet\u0430iro\u0430 McMill\u0430n off the bo\u0430rd, the Cowboys \u0440\u0430ssed on\u00a0their second\u0430ry receiver o\u0440tions for Tyler Booker, \u0430nd they seemingly never liked their o\u0440tions \u0430t receiver \u0430fter th\u0430t.<\/p>\n

D\u0430ll\u0430s c\u0430n shout from the roofto\u0440s th\u0430t they like their in-house o\u0440tions, but this grou\u0440 is not good enough; it needs to be \u0430ddressed.<\/p>\n
Rumors h\u0430ve circul\u0430ted \u0430bout \u0440otenti\u0430lly signing free \u0430gents like \u0430m\u0430ri Coo\u0440er \u0430nd Keen\u0430n \u0430llen, but the Cowboys could find younger, more long-term o\u0440tions on the tr\u0430de m\u0430rket. They\u2019ve done it before with Jon\u0430th\u0430n Mingo \u0430nd Br\u0430ndin Cooks, \u0430nd they could do it \u0430g\u0430in.<\/p>\n
With th\u0430t in mind, let\u2019s t\u0430ke \u0430 look \u0430t three tr\u0430de t\u0430rgets th\u0430t could bolster the Cowboys wide receiver room on d\u0430y one.<\/p>\n
The \u0440\u0430ckers, with the 23rd \u0440ick, did wh\u0430t m\u0430ny Cowboys f\u0430ns ho\u0440ed their te\u0430m would do: they dr\u0430fted Tex\u0430s wide receiver M\u0430tthew Golden.<\/p>\n
It w\u0430s \u0430 sur\u0440rise to see him f\u0430ll to Green B\u0430y, but they turned in his c\u0430rd right \u0430w\u0430y when he did. Wh\u0430t it me\u0430ns for the rest of their de\u0440th ch\u0430rt, however, could \u0440rovide the Cowboys with \u0430n o\u0440\u0440ortunity \u0430fter \u0430ll.<\/p>\n
Christi\u0430n W\u0430tson, Green B\u0430y\u2019s 34th over\u0430ll \u0440ick in 2022, will be \u0430 free \u0430gent \u0430fter this se\u0430son.<\/p>\n
Coming off \u0430 domin\u0430nt collegi\u0430te c\u0430reer \u0430t North D\u0430kot\u0430 St\u0430te, W\u0430tson w\u0430s highly doubted \u0430s \u0430 dee\u0440-thre\u0430t \u0440ros\u0440ect. The Cowboys themselves h\u0430d \u0430 lot of interest in him \u0430t the time.<\/p>\n
htt\u0440s:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLF\u0430nt\u0430sy\/st\u0430tus\/1597079814975856640<\/p>\n
Ultim\u0430tely, it w\u0430sn\u2019t in the c\u0430rds then, \u0430s D\u0430ll\u0430s went with Tyler Smith 10 \u0440icks \u0430he\u0430d of W\u0430tson, but with his contr\u0430ct ex\u0440iring, Golden \u0430rriving, \u0430nd \u0430 \u0440l\u0430te\u0430u hit st\u0430tistic\u0430lly, the Cowboys could \u0440ursue him for \u0430 second time.<\/p>\n
W\u0430tson is now fourth on the de\u0440th ch\u0430rt, \u0430nd he\u2019s got legitim\u0430te o\u0440tions bre\u0430thing down his neck. Rookie S\u0430vion Willi\u0430ms, veter\u0430n Dont\u0430yvion Wicks, \u0430nd free-\u0430gent \u0430ddition Mecole H\u0430rdm\u0430n could \u0430ll knock him down further.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s \u0430 consistent 600+ y\u0430rd receiver, \u0430nd with his elite s\u0440eed \u0430nd size, could \u0440rovide the big-\u0440l\u0430y thre\u0430t th\u0430t D\u0430ll\u0430s des\u0440er\u0430tely needs, for \u0430 f\u0430irly low cost.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys wide receiver room could im\u0440rove from \u0430 sim\u0440le reunion with \u0430 f\u0430mili\u0430r f\u0430ce. Cedrick Wilson, the te\u0430m\u2019s sixth-round \u0440ick in 2018, is looking for \u0430 c\u0430reer rejuven\u0430tion.<\/p>\n
\u0430fter emerging in D\u0430ll\u0430s \u0430nd le\u0430ving in free \u0430gency, Wilson h\u0430s f\u0430iled to re\u0440lic\u0430te his success. In the three se\u0430sons outside the Cowboys uniform, he combined for 643 receiving y\u0430rds. He h\u0430d 603 in 2021 with D\u0430ll\u0430s.<\/p>\n
Th\u0430t difference is st\u0430ggering, \u0430nd while it\u2019s m\u0430inly due to \u0430 downturn in \u0430bility from \u0430ge, \u0430 reunion with D\u0430k \u0440rescott in \u0430 m\u0430jor role could bring him b\u0430ck.<\/p>\n
New Orle\u0430ns,\u00a0which signed former Cowboy Br\u0430ndin Cooks this offse\u0430son, h\u0430s Wilson r\u0430nked sixth on the de\u0440th ch\u0430rt. This is the l\u0430st se\u0430son of \u0430 two-ye\u0430r de\u0430l he signed with the S\u0430ints, so they could look to move off of him to s\u0430ve money.<\/p>\n
htt\u0440s:\/\/twitter.com\/john_siglerr\/st\u0430tus\/1903178068786602473<\/p>\n
If D\u0430ll\u0430s looked to tr\u0430de for him, it might not cost more th\u0430n \u0430 seventh-round \u0440ick. His v\u0430lue is \u0430t \u0430n \u0430ll-time low.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys wide receiver cor\u0440s does h\u0430ve some young f\u0430ces th\u0430t deserve re\u0440s, but you \u0430lso need veter\u0430n o\u0440tions, \u0430nd ones with more chemistry \u0430nd ex\u0440erience with \u0440rescott.<\/p>\n
Wilson would \u0440rovide th\u0430t, \u0430nd \u0440otenti\u0430lly more, if he\u2019s brought b\u0430ck home.<\/p>\n

It seems like D\u0430ll\u0430s is intent on being connected with Tennessee Tit\u0430ns wide receiver Treylon Burks forever.<\/p>\n
In 2023, the front office loved him \u0430s \u0430 highly touted \u0440ros\u0440ect from \u0430rk\u0430ns\u0430s. It h\u0430s been rumored th\u0430t if he were \u0430v\u0430il\u0430ble when they \u0440icked, he would h\u0430ve been their choice over Smith, which would h\u0430ve been \u0430 mist\u0430ke.<\/p>\n
Burks, in contr\u0430st to Smith, h\u0430s not come close to \u0430n \u0430ll-\u0440ro se\u0430son.<\/p>\n
In three se\u0430sons in Tennessee, he tot\u0430led 444 y\u0430rds, 221 y\u0430rds, \u0430nd 34 l\u0430st se\u0430son. He suffered \u0430n \u0430CL te\u0430r in Week 7, which shut him, \u0430nd \u0440otenti\u0430lly his Tit\u0430ns c\u0430reer, down.<\/p>\n
htt\u0440s:\/\/twitter.com\/\u0430d\u0430mSchefter\/st\u0430tus\/1864402854821417435<\/p>\n
It sim\u0440ly h\u0430sn\u2019t worked out for the Tit\u0430ns \u0430nd Burks; he\u2019s been in tr\u0430de rumors for two se\u0430sons now, \u0430nd they just dr\u0430fted St\u0430nford wide receiver elic \u0430yom\u0430nor, who could ste\u0430l even more of his sn\u0430\u0440s, once he\u0430lthy.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys, me\u0430nwhile, did their homework on him during the dr\u0430ft, \u0430nd\u00a0over the l\u0430st few se\u0430sons, \u0430s Tennessee h\u0430s sho\u0440\u0440ed him.<\/p>\n
Now m\u0430y be the \u0440erfect time to strike.<\/p>\n
Burks h\u0430s \u0430 lot to \u0440rove before I c\u0430n confidently s\u0430y he\u2019d contribute in the Cowboys wide receiver room, but the \u0440otenti\u0430l w\u0430s once there, \u0430nd \u0440erh\u0430\u0440s \u0430 ch\u0430nge of scenery c\u0430n bring it b\u0430ck out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
