The wide receiving position has been one of the most talked about aspects of this football team. Ryan Switzer looks incredible in OTA’s and could truly be one of the biggest players on the Cowboys for the 2017 season.

That still does not preclude them from attempting to land a player who is used to stretching the field on the outside. Wallace actually seems like a bit of a long shot as the Ravens have made him out to be their best wide receiver.

He is a one trick pony, but he is incredibly good at that trick which is getting down the field in a hurry. If the Cowboys are open to dealing for a player like that, the team could look to the younger Taylor Gabriel as a potential player to acquire. Gabriel is one of the fastest receivers in the game but has seen some of his best production as a gadget player.

His ceiling is looking awfully high so he could be worth a discussion. Jarvis Landry would have to be my favorite player on this list for obvious reasons. He is arguably the best wide receiver of the names above and will likely move on from Miami in the near future.

The Dolphins will try to keep him but he should be looking to win a championship sooner rather than later. He would put the Cowboys over the edge in terms of offensive potency. Landry can line up anywhere and his specialty as of late has been the slot. With Beasley and Switzer handling those duties, he could be the speedy outside receiver this team has been looking for.

Next: Who are the Dallas Cowboys best fifty-three?

Then, of course, there is the troubled Martavis Bryant who is by far one of the best receivers on the Steelers. He has been suspended multiple times for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. It is likely that he will be looking for a fresh start in the future and could be a key trade asset for the Steelers.
