Cowboys Eyeing Cooper Kupp as Potential No. 2 Receiver
The NFL landscape is experiencing a seismic shift as the Dallas Cowboys set their sights on acquiring star wide receiver Cooper Kupp. With Matthew Stafford’s future solidifying and trade rumors swirling around Deebo Samuel, the stage is set for a potential game-changing move in the league.
According to ESPN insider Dan Graziano, the Cowboys are actively looking to bolster their receiving corps, specifically targeting a No. 2 receiver to complement the talented CeeDee Lamb. While the team has high hopes for Jonathan Mingo, acquired during the trade deadline from Carolina, the need for a proven playmaker like Kupp is evident.
Currently, the Cowboys lack depth behind Lamb, with Mingo, Jalen Tolbert, Ryan Flournoy, and KaVonte Turpin rounding out the receiving group. With Brandin Cooks hitting free agency, the team is eyeing Kupp as a potential solution to their need for a reliable pass-catching option.
Graziano speculates that the Cowboys could become serious contenders for Kupp if his price tag becomes more reasonable. With a $12.5 million base salary on the line, the financial aspect of the potential deal adds another layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative.
In addition to addressing their receiving needs, the Cowboys are also looking to add a dynamic running back to complement Rico Dowdle, who finished the season on a strong note. As the team navigates the offseason landscape, the pursuit of Kupp represents a pivotal moment that could reshape the team’s offensive firepower for the upcoming season.
