vertical WR to replace Brandon Cooks the Dallas Cowboys could Land one of the top wide receivers in next year's draft as projected by the draft networks Justin mellow in his 2025 NFL Mock draft he predicts the Cowboys to select Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah bond with the 25th overall pick Melo writes that Dallas will look to get cheaper at wide receiver with CD Lamb's looming extension and with Brandon Cook's due to become a free agent next off season aging wide out Brandon Cooks is entering a contract year writes Melo the Cowboys will want to get cheaper at wr2 following an inevitable and historic extension for CD land Isaiah bond is the next explosive vertical receiver coming out of Texas the 20-year-old Bond recently transferred to Texas after starring with the Alabama Crimson Tide over the past two seasons Bond posted 48 receptions for 668 receiving yards and four touchdowns during his sophomore campaign with the Crimson Tide last season as Keith Sanchez of the draft Network writes in his scouting report of bond the five 5'11 receiver is a deep threat who can quickly accelerate and break away from Defenders bond is an explosive vertical threat who can quickly accelerate creating separation between himself and Defenders writes Sanchez bond has effortless speed to stride past Defenders and can use this speed to set up other elements of his game working the short and intermediate portions of the field Bond could represent an upgrade over Cooks who was more of a possession receiver at this stage of his career rather than a deep threat the 31-year-old cooks averaged 12.2 yards per reception during the 20123 season with a long of just 37 yards that's a decline from his his 13.5 yards per reception career average and the 16.6 yards per reception he once averaged as a member of the New England Patriots back in 2017 by comparison Bond averaged 13.9 yard per reception during the the 2023 season including a 31 yd game-winning touchdown reception against the Auburn Tigers on a fourth and goal conversion to land the Crimson tied a bid in the SEC Championship game with lamb seeing an increase in volume he led the league with 135 receptions in 2023 a major increase from the 107 receptions he posted during the 2022 season the Cowboys could use a specialty deep receiver such as Bond A major benefit for the Cowboys in replacing cooks with bond is due to salary cap implications for example the Green Bay Packer selected Jordan Morgan with the 25th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft they'll pay him a little over $14 million over the duration of his rookie contract with just $3.5 million on an average annual basis according to spot track Lamb's projected contract value is 34.0 Mill million per season across four years for a total of slightly more than $136 million that total would represent 133% of the team's total salary cap higher than any player with the exception of Dak Prescott currently 21.6% while Cooks remains productive at this stage of his career 54 receptions for 657 receiving yards and eight touchdowns it's hard to Envision the Cowboys bringing him back for another season considering their salary cap limitations with big contracts due for lamb Prescott and Micah Parsons don't be surprised if the Cowboys spend a high draft pick on a player such as Bond next year Dallas Cowboys lose star player for Dallas Cowboys Lose Star Player for the foreseeable future the foreseeable future the Dallas Cowboys are going into 2024 trying to get over the playoff hump for three straight Seasons they finished the regular season with 12 wins yet they failed to make it to to the NFC championship game one of the stars who figures to be around for a long time won't be on the field for a while according to the Cowboy wire the Dallas Cowboys have made it official on Tuesday the club made six changes to their roster including officially saying goodbye to White Out CD lamb who is holding out in an effort to secure more Financial Security to this point the team has dealt with his absence without making anything offici IAL there was no need to create room on their 90-man offseason roster but two weeks into training camp the need has arisen Dallas has moved lamb to the reserved slash did not report list ahead of their first exhibition game this Sunday against the Los Angeles Trade Pitch Swaps Picks for Former 1,100 Yard Running Back Rams Cowboys trade pitch swaps picks for former 1,100 yard running back did we really need a reminder that the Cowboys running back room the committee as their labeling it is decidedly week probably not but ESPN was there to remind us on Wednesday of just how little they think of the group by pointing out the situation must be dire when team execs are hyping up the Royce Freeman signing a Cowboys trade may be in order it's a fair point Cowboys executive Steven Jones did Express his excitement for the Freeman show in Dallas and considering he was still a 28-year-old free agent when Dallas finally signed him in mid April we can take that as a condemnation of the group as a whole especially because Freeman is likely to be number two on the depth chart Dallas running back room consists of Veteran journeyman Freeman a 29-year-old Ezekiel Elliott Rico dowle Duce vaugh and some other contenders as much as running backs have correctly become devalued those players probably aren't good enough right now to lead a backfield for a Cowboys team with Super Bowl aspirations Seth Walder of ESPN analytics wrote but give Walder the four-letter Network some credit they did offer a solution a Cowboys trade for 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell in an article titled NFL preseason trade matches which teams could make a deal Walder writes that the 49ers like the depth in their running back room and could be ready to move the of injured Mitchell out of the number two spot in favor of Jordan Mason who has been taking first team rep with the team that smells of an opportunity for the Cowboys here's the deal Walder proposes Cowboys receive RB Elijah Mitchell 2025 6th round pick 49ers receive 2025 fifth round pick 2026 sixth round pick it would not be much for the Cowboys to cough up which makes sense given Mitchell's injury history but it would be a low-risk gamble that Mitchell if he was indeed healthy could take the Reigns as the cow Cowboy number one back Mitchell was a sixth round pick of the 49ers in 2021 racking up 937 yards rushing and 163 yards as a receiver in 11 games as a rookie including 10 starts his 1,100 yards from scrimmage were second on the team behind only Debo Samuel but he missed time with injuries to his chest hand and shoulder plus a concussion Mitchell has also had persistent hamstring and me problems that have made him unreliable two he played five games in 2022 and 11 last season Walder though calls a Cowboys trade for Mitchell a potential answer for the morun running back situation remember the Patriots let Elliot walk in free agency with Little Resistance after he ran for 642 yards last season just 3.5 yards per carry Freeman averaged 4.1 yards in a limited role with the Rams making just 77 carries on the season Dow has just 385 yards on 96 carries in his NFL career there isn't much upside in this group Mitchell has the speed and talent to change that if healthy Mitchell would have a good argument to be the Cowboy's best running back Walder wrote he has averaged 0.4 yards over expectation per carry in his career career per NFL nextg stats while not an overwhelming figure it is much better than what we can expect from elot who has had negative R yoe per carry in each of the past three seasons D's R yoe per carry was slightly negative last season too and you fan what do you think of the situation of Elijah Mitchell leave your opinion in the comments
