The Dallas Cowboys are in good spirits as they approach their fifth game of the season, but there is still a key area the team can add to in free agency.
Wide receiver has been an area of focus for the Cowboys fanbase since this past Spring when Dallas decided to move on from No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper. While the team now has Michael Gallup back from injury, current No. 1 receiver CeeDee Lamb is now injured (more on that below).
With James Washington still on the injured reserve, the team could use a stop-gap option in the group. Preferably, it would be a proven veteran, and in terms of potential names out there, Chris Conley has to be considered.
Conley is technically a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was just signed to their practice squad after his release from the Houston Texans. That means the Cowboys can sign him off their roster following Week 5’s games, which would be a shrewd move.
Dallas isn’t at a “code red” status when it comes to receivers, but Lamb being injured should put the team on notice.
Conley Returns to Chiefs After Texans, Jaguars Stints
After being drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL draft, Conley spent the first four seasons of his career in Kansas City. He was never the team’s out-and-out No. 1 receiver, but his possession skills made him a reliable weapon.
