Cowboys predicted to sign $100 million star for Dak Prescott after draft blunder

In typical Dallas Cowboys fashion, the team didn't do what it had to do in the first round of the NFL Draft, failing to select a wide receiver when multiple were available on the board.

It'll be interesting to see what the Cowboys do throughout the remaining stages of free agency, but it's clear that this team needs a wide receiver, and they need one soon. 

Dak Prescott is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL when healthy, but with limited options around him for the Cowboys' offense, it's tough to find a scenario where Dallas will compete with the best in its division.

In an effort to find the Cowboys an above-average receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb and Prescott, Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports predicted they'd sign Amari Cooper, who appeared in games for the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills last season. 

“Dallas was looked at as a contender to select a wide receiver somewhere within the first couple of days of the NFL Draft, but it never came to fruition. Instead, the Cowboys drafted Alabama interior lineman Tyler Booker in the first round and used their Day 2 selections to address the defensive side of the ball.

"In fact, the Cowboys didn't bring in a single wide receiver via the draft, so they still have a clear need to add a complementary piece opposite of CeeDee Lamb. With that in mind, why not pursue a possible reunion with Amari Cooper, who spent four seasons with Dallas earlier in his career?”

Cooper was very good during his time with the Browns and had found plenty of success prior to that with the Cowboys. 

However, during his short time with the Bills, he was average, a concerning sign given that he was playing with one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, Josh Allen. 

Cooper posted just 297 yards and 20 receptions during his stint with the Bills.
