The latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys.
Blockbuster trade moves are what people are dreaming about.
The Dallas Cowboys have made several additions this offseason but they still have a strong need at wide receiver.
As good as CeeDee Lamb has been, the Cowboys don’t have a consistent No. 2 wide receiver. With a subpar NFL free agency class, the expectation is that they could look to the upcoming NFL Draft to fill the void.
There’s another option as well, which would be adding someone through a trade and Ian Valentino of The 33rd Team has a big name in mind. Valentino brought up four trade ideas he would like to see before the draft, and has Dallas trading for Tyreek Hill.
Hill has voiced frustration in the direction the Miami Dolphins are headed, which has his name being floated as a trade piece. Valentino says the Cowboys could land him without using their first round pick, allowing them to still add a game-changing running back.
”After a decade of avoiding free agency splurges, Jerry Jones can drop a hammer by making such a gutsy investment into Hill. It shouldn’t cost him a first-round pick, either, meaning he can add a star tailback and Hill. Dallas would surely need to extend Hill’s contract to ease his future cap hits, but the Cowboys finally have the cap flexibility to not stress it.” — Valentino, The 33rd Team
Such a move would be a splash and could be enough to put Dallas back into the contender conversation. It’s just difficult seeing Jerry and Stephen Jones suddenly throwing caution to the wind and going for the home run.
Though it shouldn’t seriously be considered, here is another trade hypothetical.
Okay guys, I have been sending in questions for years but have never had one answered. So I want your opinion on my draft idea. I love Micah Parsons, but I don’t think the Cowboys can pay three players at the top of their positions. My idea is to trade Parsons to the Titans for the No. 1 pick and keep our pick at 12, take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter and then see what falls to 12. Imagine the salary cap upside. Am I crazy here? – Michael Mortensen/ Tampa, FL
Mickey: You are not crazy and applaud thinking outside the box. But I don’t think your scenario is realistic. The Titans are not going to give up the first pick in the draft for just Micah Parsons. Plus, he’s in the final year of his contract, and his cap hit of a guaranteed $24 million would far exceed what the Titans would have to pay the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
