The Cowboys wide receiver room last year was underwhelming to say the least. The Cowboys front office identified that problem and took action to ensure that it would not be the case once again here in 2023.
The addition of Brandin Cooks to pair with CeeDee Lamb was an important move for the Cowboys. The best move of the Cowboys offseason was a clear signal the Cowboys brass believe in this year’s team, and very much feels like a move for the here and now. Adding Cooks not only gives this offense a productive and experienced number two receiver, it takes pressure off of Michael Gallup as he looks to regain his old form after his knee injury two seasons ago, and provides insurance for the unit if he is unable to do so.
