\"Sep<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys know that Dak Prescott is going to need weapons this year to succeed. CeeDee Lamb has proven to be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. However, the depth behind him has been unstable to say the least.<\/p>\n

One free agent could help with that depth in a major way.<\/p>\n

Cowboys Zeroing In On Elite Free Agent For Dak Prescott (Report)<\/h3>\n

According to Adam Shultz of Athon Sports:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been urging the Cowboys to pursue veteran free agent Tyler Lockett for weeks, with whom new head coach Brian Schottenheimer has had a relationship since his time in Seattle.<\/p>\n

And now, the rumor mill seems to be buzzing about the idea of Lockett as Dallas\u2019 next-up No. 1 free agent target.<\/p>\n

Lockett, who was released by the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0this offseason, is a 32-year-old coming off what is a subpar year for him as he caught 49 passes for 600 yards as Seattle\u2019s third receiver last season.<\/p>\n

So why the excitment? He has all of that Seattle experience playing under new Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n

\nWith a market value of just $7.7 million APY, Lockett would bring experience, and also a little fear factor on the long ball, while also giving\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0a trusted option between the numbers as well.<\/p>\n

Having Lamb, say Tetairoa McMillan and then Lockett as your top three receivers, with Tolbert and Jalen Brooks behind them, now the offense looks a little more dangerous and is far less Lamb-centered.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys will likely see how the draft shakes out before making any other free agent moves, but Lockett still has some juice in the tank, and could be a shrewd option for Dallas to consider. \u2026 So says the sensible rumors that create the link here.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
