Cowboys may sign former Pro Bowl WR on bargain deal

Dallas Cowboys May Sign Pro Bowl Receiver Hunter Renfrow in Bargain Deal

One Receiver Slot is Up in the air

While CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks are set to be starters for the Dallas Cowboys, there are some questions about their WR3. The Cowboys will reportedly move on from Michael Gallup since he’s already on the trade block. It’s unlikely that Gallup will find a trade partner which will probably lead to his release before his guaranteed money kicks in. They would be left with options like Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Brooks but they’re not proven yet.

Renfrow isn’t an expensive option either, he’s still someone who can be a reliable receiver who can complement Lamb on the other end of the slot. Cooks could become an outside guy or in slant routes while Lamb and Renfrow focus on the deep threat. The former fifth-rounder in 2019 didn’t have a smooth campaign upon his release which may lead his suitors to shambles. However, following Carr’s exit, he couldn’t get on the same page with Jimmy Garoppolo.

Renfrow had career lows across the board, but he wasn’t getting the proper playing time under a struggling offense. Playing for Dak Prescott could improve his production, especially after the year that Prescott had. If Renfrow hitting sharp routes and having good hands is something that the team wants, then they may sign him.

Other Potential Destinations for Renfrow

The Los Angeles Chargers are one option after the release of star receiver, Mike Williams. However, it would have to be cheap since the cash-strapped team is still cleaning up their cap space. A team that makes it a little likely as a potential destination is the Chicago Bears. They’ll likely need to add a reliable asset in preparation for potentially selecting Caleb Williams in the upcoming draft.

Since Darnell Mooney is moving on to join Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, the Bears are in a hole in their slot. Either way, they’re going to need a receiver.
