we need a legit #2 receiver who catches the ball with his hands.

Cole plays the slot position. All the quick underneath routes.

I just watched all of the plays where Terrelle Pryor was the target in 2016.

He is an interesting developing player. He only started playing WR in 2016.
He now has 67 receptions for 877 yards.

He ran a 4.36 forty while measuring in at 6'4-1/2", 232 pounds. He is now listed at 223 pounds.

In regards to the review:
He can definitely get open. He is good at finding opens spot against zone defenses, getting his feet in bounds on sideline catches and running slants and comebacks. He can be used on gadget plays because of his speed and agility. They throw him a lot of those Smoke routes where he catches it at the line and uses his athletic ability to gain some yards after the catch. He would likely be good on those Jet Sweeps where the Cowboys have been using Lucky Whitehead.

He needs work on catching contested balls and inaccurately thrown balls. He tends to let DBs steer him out too close to the sidelines on long go routes.

It was somewhat difficult to evaluate him due to the Cleveland QBs being inaccurate and often being late on their throws.

He is not far enough along in his development that I would expect him to get a big contract, but as with most free agents the Cowboys might have to overpay a little to get him. He will likely want to get out of Cleveland.

I think he could be better but cheaper than TWilliams as the #2 outside WR for the Cowboys in 2017.

He's also near universally hated by his former teammates, both collegiately and in the NFL.

So the WR who led the Cowboys in receptions and recieving yards this year isn't our WR1 or WR2?

I know this is a long shot but how about contacting Calvin Johnson about making a comeback? Megatron knows Linehan's offense, seems like a great locker room guy as well. He is only 31, not old by receiver age. Dez, Megatron, Bease and Wit? WOW...

IIRC, he was still under contract when he retired. The Lions would own his rights.
