The Cowboys have signed wide receiver Deonte Thompson, agent David Canter tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). He gets a one-year, $2.5MM deal with a $1MM signing bonus. 
Thompson met with the Cowboys on Thursday and it didn’t take long for a deal to come together. He joins a wide receiver group that is in serious flux from the top to bottom. The Cowboys are expected to ask Dez Bryant to take a pay cut, but they have yet to do so, which makes his future a bit murky. Meanwhile, Terrance Williams flopped last year and Brice Butler continues to float in free agent limbo.
Thompson spent time with the Bills and Bears last year. Between the two clubs, he turned in the best season of his career with 38 grabs for 555 yards and two touchdowns. At the age of 29, he appears to be coming into his own. The Broncos and the incumbent Bills also expressed interest in signing him this month.
The Cowboys may continue to shop for wide receivers. Allen Hurns met with Dallas yesterday and they have also shown interest in Dontrelle Inman and Justin Hunter.
There going to win the super bowl now lol
Solid addition.
not for that money. he’s a good special teams guys… that’s about it.
555 yds for a team that attempted <500 passes last year. Just based on boxscore scouting, seems like he's at least a decent WR4?
His closest salary comps are a bunch of rookie deals, except for like … Aldrick Robinson?
this guy is barely worth a training camp invite
Speed guy. Butler’s replacement, and possible part time kick/punt returner imo.
This loser probably keeps us from taking a developmental receiver.. Boo!!
Not true. If Ridley is still there they take him at #19. They know unless Dez goes Megatron this season (which is unlikely) they cut bait after 2018. Plus, don’t think Williams job is safe after last season. They could also cut Beasley for younger cheaper Switzer. This WR core has been the same for three years. Something has to change.
Soo… why we spending that kind of money on a journeyman? Barely has more yards and TDs in his career than Dez did in a down year last year.
I would’ve rather we sign Mike Wallace for the same price
