“The current makeup of the team and the players we have right now, this is a really good way to go after a Super Bowl.” That’s what Jerry Jones had to say about the roster they are building this year. The Cowboys‘ owner feels confident after the draft that everything has fallen into the right place for them. Dallas made a balanced selection of offensive and defensive players. But are they not forgetting someone to protect Dak Prescott on the O-line? Maybe the Cowboys skipped the WR spot while making the draft selection. Because who else is there, except CeeDee Lamb, on whom the team could rely?

But here is the good part. Jerry Jones has hinted that the team has not closed their doors on adding a WR. “The train has not left the station,” he said, suggesting that there is a possibility that Dallas would add or bring in a wideout. So, who can be the Cowboys look at? Well, Yahoo Sports reporter Jori Epstein talks about Amari Cooper as a possible option. Amari has played with the Cowboys for four seasons before. 

Epstein believes that if the team brings back Cooper, they might not pay him huge money. But that might be fine for the wideout, who is already 30 and is currently a free agent. “And I think if I’m the Cowboys, I’m interested in that. It’s not going to be for a ton of money, but Amari’s made his money in his career. And so he might be open to that,” Jori says. The Yahoo Sports reporter suggests that Dallas can offer the veteran WR an incentive-laden contract. As per Spotrac, Amari’s current market value is projected at $18 million.

Cooper had a brilliant run with Dallas, earning two Pro Bowl appearances during his four-year stint. But things between him and the Cowboys didn’t end on a good note. There were also reports of a strained relationship with then-HC Mike McCarthy, along with questions surrounding the wideout’s practice habits and durability. So, it will be worth watching if the two can put the past aside and reunite once again.

Well, while WR depth remains a key storyline, the Cowboys also has an interesting update on QB Dak Prescott.

Dak Prescott ‘back to work’

Last year, Jerry Jones paid a huge check to his franchise QB, Dak Prescott. The Cowboys signed a four-year contract extension worth $240 million. His deal includes $231 million guaranteed, with an average salary of $60 million per year, making Prescott the player with the highest AAV in NFL history.

But two months after signing the grand deal, Prescott suffered an injury that would end his season. In Week 9, in a game against the Falcons, the Cowboys QB suffered a hamstring injury. Soon after, Jerry Jones announced that Prescott would exit the season and would undergo a surgery to repair it. After Prescott was sidelined, the team’s decision to sign such a hefty extension with Dak was questioned a lot. Especially because the QB had suffered an injury in the same leg in 2020, and then also suffered a thumb fracture in 2022. So, analysts across the league questioned whether locking him in and paying such a huge contract was worth it or not.

And so, as his injury questions and updates were constantly making rounds, the team gave a three-word answer. The Cowboys dropped a picture on their official IG account on Tuesday, featuring Dak Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb from the grounds, captioning, “back to work 💼.” The QB has been working on his recovery during the offseason, and the team has declared that he is ready for his comeback with a simple post.

All in all, Cowboys have made draft selections, dropped hints, and now Dak is back at work. Could a bold WR move be next?
