What's left out wide?

With Randy Moss staying New England, the last free-agent receiver who could bring a "Wow Factor" to the Cowboys offense is off the market.
Also gone are Bernard Berrian (Vikings), Donte' Stallworth (Browns), Jerry Porter (Jaguars), Ernest Wilford (Dolphins) and Muhsin Muhammad (Panthers), as well as Houston's Andre' Davis and New Orleans' Devery Henderson, who re-signed with their clubs. So what's left?
On the top shelf of available names would be Denver's Javon Walker, Seattle's D.J. Hackett, Arizona's Bryant Johnson, Miami's Marty Booker, Carolina's Drew Carter and New England's Jabar Gaffney.
As we reported over the weekend, the Cowboys are sniffing around Walker, but there's silence on the other ones. Representatives for Hackett, Johnson, Booker and Carter hadn't heard from the Cowboys when we talked with them over the last few days, while Gaffney could be headed for Minnesota.
Still looking for a "Wow" guy? Those guys aren't that. But Larry Fitzgerald is, and may still be available in a trade.
This, like so many other moves, would probably be dependant on the team clearing cap space and reworking Fitzgerald's contract, which calls for the big target to haul in an absurd $32 million in salary the next two seasons. He's also known to be a level-headed, unselfish guy who likely wouldn't grouse about sharing the ball with Terrell Owens.
Chad Johnson's another name we're following here, though the Bengals seem to be steadfast in their desire to hold on to him. And then, there's the draft, with a very average class of receivers coming out.
So there aren't exactly a myriad of options out there for the Cowboys at this position. Only time will tell how this all shakes out.
