Dallas Cowboys Legend Roger Staubach Sadly Kicks The Bucket @82 In the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Saints selected the 31-year-old, who played NCAA football at Ohio State.
Behind CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys could definitely use more wide receiver support, but they haven’t really addressed the issue this offseason.
The Cowboys did not choose a receiver in the NFL Draft until Ryan Flournoy was chosen in the sixth round, and they did not sign any receivers in free agency.
Dallas benched Michael Gallup, leaving Lamb behind with Brandin Cooks and not much more. It’s also important to remember that Cooks was a major letdown for the team in 2023.
Dallas obviously has severe budgetary limitations, which is why the team decided not to pursue Derrick Henry or any other elite running back available as a free agent. It’s also a major factor in the team’s failure to sign long-term contracts with Micah Parsons, Dak Prescott, or Lamb.
It’s obvious that the Cowboys are watching their spending, and that makes total sense.
But Dallas will most likely need to start filling some of these vulnerabilities if it is to compete for a Super Bowl the following season.
For this reason, former New Orleans Saints standout Michael Thomas is someone the Cowboys should consider, according to Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus.
Thomas used to be one of the best wide receivers in football, but injuries have severely limited his effectiveness in recent years. Due to a knee ailment, he only participated in 10 games last season but still managed 39 receptions for 448 yards and a touchdown.
