In 2025, CeeDee Lamb will of course operate as the focal point of the Cowboys’ passing attack. The team is lacking in depth beyond him at the receiver position as things stand, so to no surprise an addition is being sought out. 
“We’re still open to looking at a really explosive number two that could upgrade us,” Stephen Jones told the media at the league meetings (via the team’s website). “But as I said, I like our room and certainly like the players we currently have.”
Dallas re-signed returner Kavonte Turpin to a three-year, $13.5MM deal this offseason. He has seen his offensive usage increase each year to date, and a continuation of that trend could result in a rotational role in the passing game. The Cowboys’ lone outside WR addition so far is Parris Campbell, who should not be considered a roster lock based on his play with the Colts and Eagles.
Even if Turpin and Campbell wind up carving out a role, though, Dallas could stand to add at the position. Veteran Brandin Cooks departed by returning to the Saints, leaving a vacancy after he spent two years as a veteran No. 2 option. The Cowboys could turn to free agency for an experienced pass-catcher; ex-Dallas wideout Amari Cooper, along with the likes of Keenan Allen, Tyler Lockett, Tyler Boyd and Elijah Moore remain unsigned.
Jones recently said the Cowboys were not finished in free agency, even though many teams often wait until after the draft to make moves on the open market at this point of the offseason. Efforts to make a short-term acquisition could very well include adding at the WR spot. Dallas currently has roughly $36.66MM in cap space, although internal moves like extensions for Micah Parsons and several others need to be accounted for as well.
“Yes. We could,” Jerry Jones confirmed (via The Athletic’s Jon Machota) when asked if the Cowboys could make an addition prior to the draft. “We certainly don’t know that because to do either or, that I’m anticipating, involves other teams. But I would suspect we may do something.”
Indeed, a trade – like the one which brought in Jonathan Mingo from the Panthers in 2024 – could be explored to make a move or two at any number of positions. Receiver in particular looms as one to watch for as the offseason unfolds.
If Dallas is smart they draft 2 WRs. Day 2 alone, they could easily nab Tre Harris and Matthew Golden. Maybe even Egbuka or Burden III
“If Dallas is smart…” Good one!
Hahahaha
They need defense
Dallas could go out and sign Elijah Moore and Dionate Johnson as a reclamation project and be fine with Lamb, Moore, Johnson, Turbin, Turpin
But that defense needs serious work and lots of investments.
Tolbert not Turbin*
Dionte Johnson? Seriously? Relying on him is a fool’s errand. And sorry but your proposed WR room is not going to get it done.
Who said rely on Johnson
Lamb is your number 1
Tolbert is coming off a 50 catch 650 yard 7 TD season
Moore is coming off 60 catch 550 yard
There’s you’re 1-2-3 and with better QB play in Prescott you probably see Tolbert and Moore numbers go up.
Then you have Johnson as a “reclamation project” and Turpin
Egbuka will be gone before day 2
We still don’t know
Golden and Ebuka will not be around day 2. Burden and Harris also could go late on day 1 and if they don’t, they should go early on day 2. And as much as they need a couple of receivers in a bad way, they need an RB even worse. It’s a deep class on D so maybe they get lucky and some guys fall to them that shouldn’t.
Idk this feels like the draft where maybe only 3 WRs go first round the only question is who and where. There’s no major consensus. I’ve seen T Mcmillian fall out of top 10 mocks for weeks. Egbuka is only in a few of them. Some have Kyle Williams going first. It’s a crap shoot
Golden will be long gone by day 2. Harris will be around, maybe Burden too.
Maybe!
They need a QB first.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Gee you think? You have also followed a QB down the promise road with zero results. Gee you think again? Bad decisions gentlemen, year after year!
