Take a moment and look at things closely in the Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver position. Apart from CeeDee Lamb, you will barely find a star-like player in that position. If you still do not agree with what we said, here’s last season’s stats for you: Lamb ran for 1,194 yards. Whereas, others like Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Brandin Cooks, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy, and Jonathan Mingo—all couldn’t even cover more than 610 yards. So, yes, the Cowboys are in need of a solid WR whom they can rely on in the games. And guess what? Jerry Jones knows who he can approach this offseason.

Dak Prescott is coming off a season-ending injury. Obviously, he will need some great players in the receiver role, who can catch the pass and run with the ball effortlessly. Hence, Jerry Jones is eyeing on someone who knows the America’s Team’s system very well. And this person is none other than–Amari Cooper.

Yes! According to NFL Rumors on X, “The Dallas Cowboys could target Amari Cooper through free agency.” Copper has played with the team for four years, from 2018 to 2021. During his time with the team, he made it to two Pro Bowls. And his stats? Well, he had 292 catches for 3,839 yards and 27 touchdowns over 56 games played.

Even only under Dak Prescott, Cooper had 231 catches for 3081 yards and 22 touchdowns in 44 games, via StatMuse. So, it’s pretty clear that this WR, currently playing for the Buffalo Bills, has already shown a great connection with Jerry Jones’s QB. In addition, with the new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, Cooper might be able to deliver greatness on the offensive side of the ball. But the first step to that is, of course, him being signed by Jerry Jones.

This offseason, Amari Cooper has entered free agency after completing his five-year, $100 million contract, which he originally signed with the Cowboys. This occurred because his former team, Cleveland, converted the majority of his $20 million base salary into a signing bonus. And then, the Browns traded him to the Bills along with a sixth-round pick in exchange for two future picks in 2025 and 2026. Now that Cooper is back on the market, Jones would have to pay a hefty price to acquire him this time.

Reports project a $28 million, two-season contract for Cooper. So, it remains to be seen will Jerry Jones sign him or let him go to some other team. The decision remains on him. Until then, the owner is desperately looking for ways to fit Dak Prescott into the salary cap.

Is Jerry Jones eyeing to restructure Dak Prescott’s contract?

Jerry Jones’s Cowboys are in a financial storm, and Dak Prescott is right at the center of it. His contract is a ticking time bomb, set to hit a staggering $89.8 million cap charge in 2025—the highest in the league. Dallas is scrambling for a solution and their best throw? Convert $42 million of his salary into a signing bonus, pushing the financial burden down the road. But is that a fix or just delaying the inevitable?

Here’s the real concern—Dak Prescott’s 2024 season was shaky, owing to the hamstring injury that slowed him down. His touchdown rate plummeted to a career-low 3.8%, and his PFF grade ranked 30th in the league. In fact, his yards per completion hit rock bottom at 10.7, while his sack rate spiked to 6.84%. Yes, of course, numbers don’t lie, and to be honest, these numbers scream trouble.

And we are just talking about Prescott this time. Imagine, Jerry Jones’s Cowboys have another storm brewing—Micah Parsons wants a massive contract, and guess what? Talks haven’t even started. If he holds out, Dallas’s defense could take a colossal hit. So, right now, the Cowboys are walking a financial tightrope. One wrong step, and everything could come crashing down.
