Don't forget Wilson.Forgot about Hurns contract. Yeah, he gone next year.
I dunno man, can you run a mean wheel route? You might have a shot.Cooper and Gallup are the obvious starters.
Beasley and Austin are the question marks but I think both come back, Beasley won't get the contract offers he thinks he will.
Hurns and TWill have the same chance of being on the roster as I do.
Noah Brown, Cedrick Wilson and a draft pick compete for the final spots.

Here's my prediction:
Cooper
Gallup
Austin
Hurns
Noah Brown
Lance Lenoir
I also predict Beasley gets a contract offer just big enough that Jerry doesn't match (Cowboys get comp pick?). Then the Cowboys re-sign Tavon to replace him. Rationale: Cooper is fantastic in the slot and with him on the field, Tavon does damage as well vs CB2s.
2019 starting WRs: Cooper, Gallup and Austin.
Thoughts?
Great points, and I think Beasley's future is tied to a potential new coach. If he thinks the new coach can fix Dak and he won't be out there running around for nothing? I can see a potential return. If it looks like more of the same? I don't think he'll keep wasting his time for nothing.
Sometimes, the high road is both right and wrong road at same time. I want to hear the truth. Bottom line: Dak is a fine young man who I’d love to call my son, but he’s not the answer to our QB question.He certainly doesn't want to waste his time and abilities running around out there for nothing. Right now, he's dealing with a quarterback who either:
And worst of all, he has to sit back and "take the high road" and not say anything about the fact that this is what's happening.
- Doesn't see him
- Overthrows or underthrows him
- Or waits long enough for the defender he shook to play catch up if he does get him the ball
If nothing changes, who would want to stick around for more of that?
Unfortunately for him, a 5-7 slot WR is not going to get anything close to an 18M per year mega-contract like the big outside WRs.
Beasley is a really good slot WR.
Based on his comments (twitter, interviews, etc.) he likely sees himself as a great NFL WR and deserving of a mega-contract.

Agree, TWill thought he was going to get a monster contract also.
Amari Cooper
Michael Gallup
Cole Beasley
Noah Brown
Lance Lenoir
Cedrick Wilson
Tavon resigns elsewhere, and I’d say there’s like a 90% chance Hurns is cut given his production and the fact that’ll save $5mm against the cap.
Probably not.Does the new HC get a say?

With the eventual result being he gets cut and chased out of town for "underperforming" vs the value of his contract.....
Writing is on the wall for Beasley
He's next on the scapegoat list and likely knows it
If he thinks he's due for "big money", the rap thing has gone to his head. Like you said, he's a nice slot receiver, not a star. While he's better than his current numbers with this quarterback, he's not a big-ticket item. If he disagrees, he's in for a rude awakening and can try to find it elsewhere.
But unless major things change, I don;t see him wanting to come back here, regardless of whether the money is competitive. This current situation is a liability for every receiver involved in it.
Would like to see Cowboys go after one of these Texas Longhorns monster wide receivers 6'5" Lil' Jordan Humphries (#84) and/or 6'6" Collin Johnson (#9) or blazing fast (4.32) slot receiver 5'11" Devin Duvernay (#7). Either one would add talent to this receiving group, especially if Cole Beasley leaves as expected via free agency after this season.
