NFL Free Agency: 2 wide receivers the Cowboys should consider signing

After having one of the best-receiving corps in the league two seasons ago, the Dallas Cowboys went from terrorizing opposing defenses to having opposing teams dare the Boys to beat them beyond Wide Receiver CeeDee Lamb. 

When Lamb wasn’t open, there was no other receiver that was able to step up. To put it in perspective, Lamb had 107 receptions this past season, and the next closest wideout had 43 receptions (Noah Brown). 

And to clarify, that is nothing against Brown, who had a breakout in the first half of the season, but he was once a WR3/WR4 option two seasons ago – and now he was your WR2 this season. 

That’s not okay. You could argue that their wide receiver group was worse than the pre-Amari Cooper trade. 

But enough of the negatives because we’re here to offer two guys who can come in and help the passing game. These two possess the speed that can stretch the field for the Cowboys offense. Plus, it would be nice to see more deep shots than the dink-and-dunk that the Boys mostly ran last year. 

So, to ease your curiosity, check them out below.

1. Mecole Hardman

First, we start with Kansas City Chiefs wideout Mecole Hardman. A former second-round pick out of Georgia, Hardman was getting pegged as a Tyreek Hill replacement (when he was going through legal issues), but the Chiefs wound up having both speedsters on the team. 

There were lofty expectations for him, and to be honest, he didn’t let live up to them and still hasn’t. However, the main reason for that issue arguably has to be his injury history. 

But there is one thing that he has the Cowboys don’t have, and that’s speed. 

According to PFF writer Marcus Mosher, Hardman has ranked in the 95th percentile among all WRs in separation percentage versus single coverage since 2020. So, yeah, he’s good.
