Cowboys Trade Rumors: Raiders’ WR to Dallas

Cowboys Trade Rumors: Raiders’ WR to Dallas

The new NFL season begins on March 13, and the Dallas Cowboys have been linked to several free-agent targets,

as well as potential trade possibilities.

One such trade proposal concerns increasing depth at wide receiver.

The Cowboys have wideout CeeDee Lamb under contract for one more season (pending his coming extension) and Michael Gallup for two.

Brandin Cooks came in via trade last offseason and Dallas added two void years through 2026 to free up cap space.

The proposed trade by SB Nation involves disgruntled Las Vegas Raiders wideout Hunter Renfrow,

who has seemingly fallen out of favor with his team – meaning he might come on a bargain trade deal.

“Renfrow hit career-lows in all significant statistics after playing only 35% of the offensive snaps as a result of falling out of favor with the Raiders’ coaching staff,”

SB Nation wrote on February 17. “Even after Antonio Pierce took over as interim coach, nothing changed for Renfrow.

“Renfrow carries a $13.7M salary for next season, but you’d have to assume the Raiders would be happy to absorb some of that price to foster a trade.

The Cowboys and the Raiders have frequently worked out deals before, and the two sides agreeing wouldn’t be a surprise.”

After a successful college career with the Clemson Tigers, Renfrow was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

His best season was 2021 when he caught 103 balls for 1,038 yards and nine scores. Last season,

his productivity fell to 25 catches for 255 yards and no touchdowns after he played in just 35 percent of the Raiders’ offensive snaps.

Dallas needs a receiver to compliment Lamb, and after last season’s inconsistency,

some believe they don’t have one yet. Could Renfrow be the guy? If he has fallen out of favor in Las Vegas,

the Cowboys may be able to sign him for less.

In June 2022, the former Clemson product signed a two-year,

$32 million agreement with the Raiders, leaving him with one year remaining and a $13.681 million cap charge in 2024.

If the Cowboys can persuade the Raiders to pick up some of it,

as is customary when a team wants to get rid of a player who is no longer desired, that may be a steal for Dallas.

But … Is Renfrow superior to Brandin Cooks? No.

Would he impede Jalen Tolbert’s and Jalen Brooks’ progress? Maybe, So, “bargain” is the term here.
