FRISCO, Texas – Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones told reporters following the conclusion of the NFL Draft that "the train has not left the station" in regard to the thought of trading for a wide receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb.
That's still one of the options that lie ahead for the Cowboys, but it certainly isn't the only one.
Let's outline everything on the table for the Cowboys at wide receiver following the first draft since 2020 in which they didn't take draft a player at the position:
Keeping things in-house
Tolbert is the name that rises to the top of the list if Dallas elects to not add to the room any more, as he's coming off of a career-best year with 49 receptions, 610 yards and a team-leading seven receiving touchdowns.
Mingo and Turpin are two wildcards of sorts, with a lot of unknowns around Mingo given limited playing time in 2024 after being acquired for a fourth-round pick from the Panthers. His imposing 6'2, 220-pound frame makes him a deep threat target that was on film plenty during his days at Ole Miss but hasn't shown in the NFL just yet. The Cowboys are high on Mingo, saying they had a second-round grade on him coming out of college. Perhaps getting to play more under Brian Schottenheimer and alongside Dak Prescott can peel back some of his true potential.
Other free agents at the position are still on the market, such as DJ Chark and Tyler Boyd, but Cooper and Allen seem to make the most sense given what the Cowboys are looking for.
