The Dallas Cowboys have so many needs to address this offseason that we’re not even sure where they should start. Between wide receiver, running back, defensive tackle, cornerback and linebacker, the front office won’t be able to just rely on the draft to plug holes.
After watching the Eagles dominate the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, it would behoove Dallas to beef up their trenches on the defensive side of the ball. Re-signing Osa Odighizuwa should be the top priority and they would be smart to add a DT on top of that in the draft given how deep this year’s class is.
As far as the offense is concerned, Dak Prescott clearly wants the team to sign a quality running back. While RB is a big need, wide receiver is arguably a bigger void.
Luckily for Dallas, there is seemingly always multiple high-profile wideouts on the move each offseason. Longtime Rams star Cooper Kupp is one of them. Despite his wishes to finish his career with the NFC West champs, the team informed Kupp he’ll be traded.
Rumored price of Cooper Kupp trade leaves Cowboys with an easy decision
Multiple insiders have weighed in on Kupp’s expected trade value.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter likened Kupp’s value to that of former Chargers receiver Keenan Allen, who went for a fourth-round pick last offseason. Schefter anticipates Kupp will net a similar, if not identical, compensation.
Steelers beat writer Mike DeFabo of The Athletic is also of the belief that Kupp will go for a fourth-round draft choice.
If a fourth is the going rate for Kupp, Dallas should have the Rams on the phone yesterday. The one caveat, though, is the Cowboys don’t have a fourth-round pick this year.
