Unless it's an unfortunate big injury this summer to Lamb or Tolbert, .. with counting on No.2 guy Gallup's eventual return, and Tolbert set to be our No.2 and No.3,
....I'm not for trading picks for serviceable type WRs right now.

At this early point in the summer, I'd like to see what becomes of Houston, Vashar, and Simi by preseason's end. - Could we have at least one big pleasant surprise in that
we don't have to up draft picks for other WRs.
And even with other minimum wage vet WRs, i'd more prefer to sign them on as free agents, one year deal, incentive deals... instead of trading and giving up draft picks for them.
Quick I understand your reasoning regarding waiting to see what these young receivers have. The problem is we aren’t really gonna know until the regular season starts and they are matched up against opponents who aren’t teammates and there’s more on the line than a ps game.

Preston Williams - MIA
Jalen Raegor -- but Philly wont trade him to us.

I like Preston Williams in MIA too.
Big outside receiver. He's like 5th or 6th in their pecking order at targets/opportunities. Only 25.
As Beware D_ware mentioned in another post, offer up a 5th and see if Miami bites. He's already chirping/tweeting he would like more opportunity.

Dallas could rescue him from being a disgruntled employee into the number 2 option while Gallup heals.

Could put CeeDee in the slot or Tolbert in the slot or outside.

- We're going the same route with the young backup offensive tackles, ..not considering vet backup offensive tackles, that's an even tougher sell and gamble than the WR unit, imo,
considering it involves protection and health of your franchise QB, but that's the route they are deciding to go..

- The club may have already decided that their young guys still give them a chance at having a productive unit, vs what they can bring in off the street.
and they would would prefer to see them get count snaps and experience to better evaluate progress, to which they may not get if they brought in vet guys.

- And it's a reason why those vet guys are still out available on the street, even with NFL camps already going into their 2nd week.

- Plus too, don't NFL teams tend to wait until after 1st or 2nd game of NFL regular season, to prevent guarantee roster salaries ?

Well said.
Adam Humphries
A really good slot player but his contract is pretty fat. Unless that’s changed.

Played with Gallup at Colo St. Big dude.
Would be excellent here but I don't know if MIA would take a 5th yet.
And is an URFA after the year so Dallas would likely want an extension agreement to pay anything more than that.

Yep. Agreed.
Additionally, I would like to think McClay is looking league wide for these type WR acquisitions and not only the older more familiar names.

Emmanuel Sanders is just sitting there
He's been considering retirement is why. No one wants to take snaps from a young WR with Emmanuel possibly retiring during training camp. He likely will not get picked up until the season starts if he hasn't retired yet.

my guess is he put the retirement talk out there so he can just sign with someone after TC and preseason is over.

We don’t need to sign anyone. We need to use pollard more. Period.
