As the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0enter the\u00a0NFL\u00a0offseason after a disappointing 2024-25 season, there are plenty of holes on the roster that need to be addressed. Two of the most commonly mentioned positions are wide receiver and running back.<\/p>\n

Dallas\u2019 offense needs to add to its all-around attack, with a lack of receiver depth behind CeeDee Lamb and zero depth behind Rico Dowdle.<\/p>\n

While the Cowboys could certainly address either of those positions with the No. 12 overall pick in the\u00a02025 NFL Draft, there is also free agency where a familiar face will be available.<\/p>\n

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report\u00a0shared his top 50 free agents entering Wild Card weekend along with their possible fits, and none other than Amari Cooper has been mentioned as a player who could land in Big D.<\/p>\n

\u201cA return to Dallas could also make some sense,\u201d he writes. \u201cThe Cowboys don\u2019t have a young signal-caller, but they need a legitimate No. 2 receiver opposite CeeDee Lamb.\u201d<\/em><\/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\u2019 wide receiver depth has been a question.Cooper was a four-time<\/p>\n

Pro Bowler in Dallas with two 1,000 yard seasons.<\/p>\n

He got off to a hot start with the Browns, recording back-to-back 70+ reception and 1,000-yard seasons, but after a slow start in 2024 he was traded to the Buffalo Bills. Cooper finished the 2024 campaign with 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n

With a return to Dallas and plenty of talent around him, Cooper would be worth pursuing to round out the offense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
