Jerry Jones has always been criticized for not making major moves in free agency. Now, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys is once again in the spotlight, as he has reportedly refused to bring in a top-tier wide receiver to support Dak Prescott.
Each free agency period presents teams with a chance to strengthen their rosters. Unfortunately, the Cowboys have not been known as big spenders during this time.
Jones has continued to prioritize the NFL Draft as the primary way to build the team. However, fans are growing increasingly frustrated, urging him to make impactful signings in free agency to give Prescott the support he needs to succeed.
Report: Jerry Jones refuses to sign an elite wide receiver for Dak Prescott
Cowboys fans are desperate for success. The NFC East club has not reached the NFC Championship game in the past three decades, a shocking drought for such a storied franchise.
Recently, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb agreed to restructure his contract, freeing up cap space to help the team bring in new offensive weapons. However, it appears Jerry Jones has other plans.
On Wednesday, NFL Media reported that the Rams were releasing Cooper Kupp. The star wide receiver has been linked to multiple teams in recent days, but the Cowboys are not among them.
According to Jane Slater, the Cowboys are “not in the mix right now” to sign Cooper Kupp. While the reasoning remains unclear, Jerry Jones recently stated that the team’s primary focus is on the 2025 NFL Draft, which could explain why Dallas is hesitant to make significant moves in free agency.
Where could Cooper Kupp land?
While the Cowboys might seem like a strong landing spot for Kupp, they are unlikely to pursue him. However, several other teams are expected to make a move for the veteran receiver in the coming days.
As of now, the Seahawks, Broncos, and Chargers appear to be the best fits for Kupp. However, none of these teams have made a formal offer yet.
