I have a few days to do this and I'm not doing every position leaving RB, FB, and QB off the list. I may have to do more than one a day to get it done. Try to stay on topic for that position as you'll get your chance for other positions and I'll likely do a part where we go after several, at the most, FAs for the year. These are not likely to all be up to date.

I don't know all of these and in fact only a few enough to comment. We have some gurus out there who appear to know many more. I'll comment on only a few and rely on you people to fill this in properly. I'm leaving off those I don't think fit our team for whatever reason even if they have the talent to push for the roster.

Mine:

Sammy Watkins (24) Has the skill to push for the #1-2 spot on the roster. Can play the X, Z, W and SL
Jarvis Landry (25) Can make the roster at the SL although can go play outside particularly the Z and W
Allen Robinson (24) . Can play outside esp at 6-3 211. Missed 2017 ACL. Probably resigned by Jags.
Marqise Lee (26) Another Jag but injuries and RZ production likely gets him cut. Wouldn't sign him.
Paul Richardson (25) Another #3 whose game is like Williams. Not interested in this Seahawk
Jordan Matthews (25) Productive former Eagle now Bill coming off IR. About 1000 10-14 YPC. Interested
Taylor Gabriel (27) Small quick burner decent YPC #3 production able to return KO and punts. Interested

Did not look at them all. A few will get cut in TC but we won't see many of these.
 
Pryor on another 1 year prove it deal...

I could imagine Kendal wright as a cheaper dez....

Jordan Mathews would be a great #2
 
Wasting your time J Jerry says we're good on receivers so I doubt they pick up any name receivers like you would want I doubt they do anything big in free agency anyway.

Very nice pat, OP. I have a different view of Lee. I don't think the Jags let him walk. I think he is turning into a very clutch player. He is better than any receiver on our roster.

It's pretty odd that teams will let wise receivers walk who are better than any wide receiver on our roster. Our wide receiver play was that bad last year. Dez needs to be in the Turk's crosshairs.
 
Don't like many of those names as far as legit options. De'Anthony Thomas would be good depth imo, he's got burners.

I just don't think Mathews is any good. He is one of those guys that just never really does much of anything well. At least that's how I see him.

Quite honestly of all the names on your short list, Lee is probably the most intriguing to me. Robinson would also be a strong pickup.

I think both of those guys would be off the charts good if they had a consistent good QB. Bortles has been very spotty this year, although he played a lot better against the Patriots in the AFCCG.
 
I’m very intrigued by Jarvis Landry. He’s young (25), durable (has played in every game all 4 years of his career) and prolific- he has averaged 100 receptions a year including 112 in 2017. And he’s caught most of his passes from the very average Ryan Tannehill. He gets open and is very reliable.

The downside of Landry is he is not a huge deep threat. He has decent speed but not a true burner.

But I do like his reliability a lot. Dak needs a receiver who runs tight, reliable routes, which Dez will never provide.

Small. Frequent injuries inc season ending one Dec 17 broke his tibia. He's a third down back/SL who can't stay on the field..
 
Have to cut Dez 1st to do anything...we’ll see if that actually happens or not. We’re stuck with T Will unfortunately due to his extension last year and Beasley, Switzer, and Noah Brown will all likely have roster spots as well...maybe a slight chance they cut Beasley but I kinda doubt it.
Revamping the WR group isn’t going to be as easy or drastic as people think

Lee is a #1 but they aren't letting both go. Matthews is a very good possession WR. I see him pushing Williams for snaps. You pick him up and it makes Beasley better. It diminishes Williams though taking snaps but also takes some from Dez if they play that well.
 
Some on that list would be a huge upgrade but they'll be getting paid big bucks. I think landry and Watkins get big bucks
 
Landry and Robinson are the two guys I would be most interested in. However, it' more than likely their teams retain them and they're likely to be cost prohibitive. Sammy Watkins is intriguing, but the situation kind of reminds me of WR Roy Williams. A high first round pick with good production for 1 season, while the rest doesn't live up to the hype. I would stay clear for a big contract. Matthews looks to be a decent number 2 option, but is he a dynamic receiver? For the rest, names like Wallace, Decker, Wright, and Pryor stick out for productive years, but I have a hard time figuring out where they fit.

I think with most of the free agents in the Cowboys price range you're not looking at anyone that is going to transform the passing game, but could be solid number 3 option or serviceble 2 if thrown into that role for a few games. I much rather hold what we have and invest an early pick in the draft in someone that has number 1 potential.

I'm hoping TE's will be part 2
