Cowboys need a reliable No. 2 receiver

The Dallas Cowboys have had a busy start to free agency, but they still have work to do. With a new salary cap of about $57 million, some expected the team to make big moves. Cowboys executives have described their strategy as "selectively aggressive" rather than fully committed to big signings. So far, the Cowboys have made several signings, including defensive end Dante Fowler for $6 million and defensive tackle Solomon Thomas for $6 million. They have also traded for cornerback Kaiir Elam and linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. However, the team has lost several key players, such as guard Zack Martin, who retired, and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Despite these changes, the Cowboys still need to improve their roster. Key positions that require attention include running back, wide receiver, cornerback, and defensive tackle. Some of these needs may be addressed in the upcoming NFL draft. Several notable free agents have signed with other teams. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw signed with the Denver Broncos, cornerback Kristian Fulton agreed to a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, and defensive tackle Poona Ford went to the Los Angeles Rams. All three players could have helped fill gaps in the Cowboys' lineup. The Cowboys are still looking for a No. 2 wide receiver. Veteran Keenan Allen could be a good fit, as he has experience and production, having caught 70 passes last season. Another player, Asante Samuel Jr., a cornerback, could also be a valuable addition, despite some health concerns. Lastly, Calais Campbell, who is nearing the end of his career, is still productive against the run. Adding him could strengthen the Cowboys' defensive line, which has been a weakness. Overall, while the Cowboys have made progress, they still need to address several key areas in free agency and the draft to be competitive.
