Dallas Cowboys for Dez Bryant and third-round pick
To say that Dallas needs an upgrade at corner would be a major understatement. There’s not one objective person out there who doesn’t believe this team will be looking to add multiple players at that position early in the upcoming draft. Why not pick up an All-Pro corner and simply just cut to the chase? The only real issue here is that Dallas doesn’t have the cap space to take on Sherman’s salary.
That leads us to the suggestion that Jerry Jones and Co. should move on from No. 1 receiver Dez Bryant, who would act as a nice veteran swap with Sherman. Sure Bryant is important to what the Cowboys do on offense, but injuries limited him to a minor role this past season. All said, Bryant recorded 50 receptions for less than 800 yards. Really, he just didn’t seem to mesh too well with Dak Prescott.
By moving Bryant to Seattle, Dallas saves enough against the cap to pick up Sherman’s salary. In this scenario, it only yielded a third-round pick as bait from the draft. That would enable the Cowboys to add a young receiver to the mix in one of the first two rounds while building up its thin secondary following the departures of Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne.
From a Seahawks perspective, the idea of adding Bryant to the mix has to be appealing. They can team him up with the likes of Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett and Jimmy Graham to form an electric pass-catching group. Giving Russell Wilson that one big-bodied target on the outside to pair with Baldwin would be pretty sexy. Seattle would also pick up a third-round pick here it can use on developmental offensive lineman in a strong draft along that unit.
