The Dallas Cowboys remodeled their wide receiver position this offseason, there’s no denying it. While they did make a surprise move bringing back Michael Gallup, Dallas replaced five-time thousand-yard receiver Amari Cooper with veteran James Washington and rookie third-round pick, Jalen Tolbert.
While Tolbert does have the potential to become a solid player, and Washington is a decent third or fourth option, the two combined do not equal what Cooper was at his best. In Washington’s four-year NFL career, he has totaled fewer receiving yards (1,629) than Cooper (1,712) has in his last 28 games.
Michael Gallup is still recovering from his torn ACL and he seems likely to miss at least the first two or three games of the regular season, and potentially more.
