Not Davante Adams: Cowboys working to sign a new wide receiver for Dak Prescott

It looks like the Dallas Cowboys are prepared to strengthen their wide receiver corps. The Lone Star club is set to sign a new wideout to support Dak Prescott, but unfortunately for the fans, it won’t be Davante Adams.

This season has been tough for the Cowboys. Analysts predicted a 4-1 start, but losses in two home games against the Saints and Ravens have left them with a 3-2 record.

Jerry Jones, the team’s owner and general manager, has recently hinted at the arrival of new players. The Cowboys are currently testing a new wide receiver who could join Prescott’s offense in the coming weeks.

Report: Cowboys set to sign new wide receiver for Dak Prescott

Ahead of the 2024 NFL season, Jerry Jones faced major criticism from the Cowboys’ fanbase. Fans were pushing him to bring in more players in his role as GM, but he initially resisted.

The Cowboys have a roster full of stars, but it seems they need more. While Dak Prescott remains the team’s star quarterback, the front office is looking to surround him with additional weapons.

Recently, reports surfaced that Davante Adams wanted out of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Cowboys were rumored to be interested, but it seems Dallas isn’t pursuing him.

Jerry Jones has revealed that they are working out Denzel Mims. While Mims could join the team, Jones emphasized that testing him doesn’t guarantee a signing.

Mims, a 2020 2nd-round pick for the New York Jets, was released in 2022. Since then, he has been on the Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Jacksonville Jaguars, but hasn’t played a snap with any of them.

Are the Cowboys uninterested in signing Davante Adams?

Dallas was initially viewed as a possible landing spot for Davante Adams after he requested a trade from the Raiders. However, Jones seems confident in CeeDee Lamb as the team’s WR1, indicating there’s no need for Adams.

Reports suggest the Raiders want at least a 2nd-round pick and other compensations for Adams. While the price might not be steep, Jones is known for being conservative in making blockbuster trades.
