Still, a string of cryptic social media posts in recent weeks have only added to the uncertainty surrounding his future.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys are in the market for a reliable No. 2 option behind CeeDee Lamb. Hill is coming off a down year, notching 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns. However, the 31-year-old is still an elite option and just a season removed from leading the league in receiving yards and touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports highlighted the Cowboys as a potential suitor for Hill in a blockbuster move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Cowboys used to be addicted to the \u2018splash move,\u2019 but they\u2019ve been stagnant as of late. Acquiring Hill would be the kind of blockbuster that vaults them back into the limelight, for better or worse,\u201d Benjamin said. \u201cHill is aging, but Dallas needs a proven running mate for CeeDee Lamb, as evidenced by the club\u2019s pursuit of Cooper Kupp. And they\u2019ve still got more than $30 million in 2025 salary cap space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamb could benefit significantly from a reliable partner in the passing game. Despite battling through injuries for a chunk of the season \u2014 and with quarterback Dak Prescott missing time \u2014 Lamb still delivered. He hauled in 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Eyeing \u2018Explosive\u2019 Options at Wide Receiver<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys lost veteran receiver Brandin Cooks to free agency. Cooks signed a two-year deal with the New Orleans Saints. He\u2019ll play for former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who is now at the helm of the Saints.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves the Cowboys still searching for a reliable No. 2 receiver behind Lamb. Dallas currently has Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, and Parris Campbell on the depth chart, along with a few younger players. But according to Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones, the team is exploring all avenues to add a proven veteran to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still open to looking at a really explosive number two that could upgrade us,\u201d Jones said. \u201cBut as I said, I like our room and certainly like the players we currently have.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Getting Healthy<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys will be led by first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who is taking over for Mike McCarthy. The key to the team\u2019s success will be for Prescott to stay healthy. He had surgery on his hamstring on Nov. 13. The injury limited him to just eight games last season and Dallas stumbled to a 7-10 record.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott has been working hard to get healthy for the start of the season and the team has been pleased with his progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDak\u2019s doing great, he\u2019s coming along. He\u2019s very thrilled with where he is and I know the trainers are too, I feel like he\u2019s doing a hell of a job,\u201d Jones said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott could miss some time during the offseason and preseason workouts. However, the team does not expect him to miss any meaningful time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019ll have some limitations yea, but you know Dak, he\u2019s a worker,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled with where he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys could also add some additional offensive firepower through the draft. Dallas holds the No. 12 overall pick.<\/p>\n<p>J.R. DeGroote covers the Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Lakers for Heavy.com.
