Take a moment and look at the things closely in the Dallas Cowboys’s wide receiver position. Apart from CeeDee Lamb, you will barely find a star-like player at 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, Jonathan Mingo – all couldn’t even cover more than 610 yards. So, yes, the Cowboys are in the 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. It’s obvious he will be needing some great players at the receiver role, who are able to 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.The Dallas Cowboys could target Amari Cooper through free agency. pic.twitter.com/aQ5w51q3hE— NFL Rumors (@nflrums) February 23, 2025Even 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, who is currently on the Buffalo Bills, has already shown a great connection with Jerry Jones’s QB. In addition, now having a new head coach in 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 hit the free agency market after completing his 5-year, $100 million deal which he signed with the Cowboys earlier. This happened because his former team, Cleveland, converted the majority of WR’s $20 million base salary into a signing bonus. And then, he was later received by the Bills along with a sixth-round pick, in exchange for two picks of 2025 and 2026 to the Browns. Now that Cooper is set free to hit the market, Jerry Jones would have to pay big in order to acquire him this time.As per reports, Cooper is projected to get a $28 million contract over the span of two seasons. 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.Jerry Jones is 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 really a fix or just delaying the inevitable?Here’s the real concern – Dak Prescott’s 2024 season was shaky at best. All credits goes to his 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 huge hit. So, all in all, right now, the Cowboys are walking a financial tightrope. One wrong step, and everything could come crashing down.The post NFL Rumors: Jerry Jones Wants Ex-Cowboys WR’s Return as Dak Prescott Faces $42M Contract Blow appeared first on EssentiallySports.
