The Dallas Cowboys have some work to do.
Dallas is in second place in the NFC East behind the surprising Washington Commanders. The Cowboys currently have a 3-2 record but still could use another playmaker on the offensive side of the football and more defensive depth.
The Cowboys have been dealing with some injuries, so it could make some sense to bring in another receiver. Because of this, Bleacher Report's David Kenyon put together a hypothetical proposal for Denver Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton.
"Longtime owner Jerry Jones and his son Stephen, the team's executive vice president, have routinely pointed to the salary cap as the main obstacle for the Dallas Cowboys," Kenyon said. "Making a trade of this nature would require them to acknowledge the flaws in that argument. The second part, consequently, is enough to turn 'Courtland Sutton to the Cowboys' into an absurd idea...
"Sutton isn't exactly a cornerstone piece, though. While his cap number rises to $20.2 million next season, Denver would save $14 million if he's designated as a post-June 1 cut. Perhaps the Broncos want to avoid offseason cap questions involving Sutton if they can trade him now for the right price. If success is measured by a Super Bowl, the Cowboys need to gamble on bolstering the receiving corps around CeeDee Lamb. Sutton probably wouldn't be more expensive than a third-rounder, either."
Dallas could use another piece and Sutton could be available for the right price. He was in trade rumors and currently is on a four-year, $60 million contract. Why not go get him?
