Brian is Eyeing A Former 1,200-yard WR to Line Up Next to Lamb and Pickens
The Dallas Cowboys' 2025 offseason has been defined by the blockbuster trade that brought George Pickens to the popular franchise. Bringing in the former Steeler gives the Cowboys arguably the most talented duo in the league, with CeeDee Lamb being in the conversation as the league's best at the position.
Still, the Cowboys would be wise to consider bringing in a familiar face at a possible discount. While there are still concerns on the current roster, it appears the team is content to rely on a high-flying offense and the return of Dak to carry them back into playoff relevance.
With this in mind, the Cowboys should at least reach out to Amari Cooper and see if there is any interest in a reunion. Having a trio of Lamb, Cooper, and Pickens is as talented a group as the Cowboys have had in recent memory. If the team is going to remain content pushing its chips to the center of the table on offense only, they might as well continue to go all in. Cooper isn't the player he was the first time around in Dallas; however, there is still immense value in having the veteran as a potential third option.
Cowboys Could Complete an Exciting Offseason Reuniting with Amari Cooper
Signing an aging version of Cooper isn't about bringing back the player he once was, but giving one of the league's most consistent receivers a chance in a role he has never played. While Cooper wouldn't be getting the bulk of the targets, he would have the advantage of matching up against bottom-of-the-rotation cover options.
At best, you're putting your third corner on Cooper, paying attention to Lamb and Pickens. The veteran receiver would be a benefit as well in the fact that he would let your two best pass catchers line up all over the field and frustrate opposing defenses even more so. It is important to note that while this does make sense, it only works if Cooper is willing to sign at a discount to help a contending team. There are likely fringe contenders willing to pay the veteran more for an elevated role.
Regardless, it is a move the Cowboys should at least consider as they work to rebuild the roster and put last season's frustrations behind them. Cooper's return fits perfectly with this and makes perfect sense for both sides.
