Thompson, 29, put up the best performance of his career between the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills last season. He recorded a combined 38 receptions for 555 yards with two touchdowns.
Depending on how the remainder of the offseason plays out, it would not be a surprise if Thompson found himself as the Cowboys’ No. 3 receiver behind Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley.
