FRISCO, Texas -- A year ago, the Dallas Cowboys opted to look at a wide-receiver-by-committee option to replace Dez Bryant's production.
They signed Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson in free agency after their big swing for Sammy Watkins failed to connect. They hoped Terrance Williams could be a factor despite offseason foot surgery. They knew what they had in Cole Beasley. They drafted Michael Gallup in the third round. They traded for Tavon Austin. In season, they brought back Brice Butler for a little bit of a run.
