Dallas Cowboys<\/a> COO Stephen Jones talked about being \u201cselectively aggressive\u201d with the team’s offseason moves. Adding a No. 2 wide receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb seems like it\u2019s near the top of their list, and they could be aggressive by going after a player familiar with the Dallas\u2019 new wide receiver\u2019s coach.<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/em> says Dallas could be interested in acquiring Cooper Kupp \u201cif the price drops.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cowboys will be in the market for a No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb<\/a>. They have some hope that Jonathan Mingo<\/a>, their trade-deadline acquisition<\/a> from Carolina, can evolve into that, but obviously it\u2019s too soon to know and they will be in the market to add at that position. They could end up being a Cooper Kupp<\/a> suitor if his price drops far enough. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Graziano points out, the Cowboys still hope Jonathan Mingo develops into a player, considering they traded a fourth-round pick for him at last year’s trade deadline. The Cowboys covet their draft picks more than most teams, so when they use picks as trade chips, they need the player to work out. <\/p>\n

However, Kupp would be quite the contingency plan.<\/a> Head coach Brian Schottenheimer hired Junior Adams from Oregon as the team\u2019s new wide receiver\u2019s coach. Not only will Adams be bringing in influence from the college game, but there\u2019s hope that if a trade for Kupp is made, he could be the one that tips the scales as to why it happens.<\/p>\n

Adams and Kupp worked together when the wide receiver was at Eastern Washington University. Kupp credits Adams as his mentor and has worked out with him in the offseason, even though they are no longer in the same building.<\/p>\n

Junior Adams was Cooper Kupp\u2019s position coach at Eastern Washington in 2013 when he set freshman records in receiving yards (1,691) & TD receptions (21). <\/p>\n

Kupp: \u201cI have had a lot of coaches\u2026..None have had a greater impact on me than Coach Adams.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/A9cziiiwg0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Cowboys have hoped Jalen Tolbert would elevate his game to a No. 2 wide receiver level. Even though he\u2019s coming off a career season with 610 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, he is also entering the final year of his rookie contract. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s hope he could continue his development like Mingo, but having Kupp in their back pocket would give Dallas a legit wide out to pair with Lamb while players like Tolbert and Mingo keep working on their game. Kupp would also be a great mentor to both players, as he was with Puka Nacua in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys offense needs more weapons if it is to be a force in the first-year of Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s era. Kupp would certainly qualify. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
