5 moves that will turn the Cowboys into a Super Bowl contender
The Dallas Cowboys are heading into the 2023 NFL season looking to build on the success they had in 2022.
Never seen as a team that is rebuilding, the Cowboys’ front office always seems to have a plan going into free agency and the draft. If they want to return to their former glory, though, they will need to make some moves that are out of character for this team as of late, spend money. The trend around the league lately has been to spend money in order to make deep runs and get to the Super Bowl.
The Rams, Buccaneers, Eagles, and Chiefs all made aggressive moves in free agency and they all paid off for them. The Cowboys need to follow suit and instead of building through the draft, which they are extremely good at, go out and spend money on players that haven’t been a part of your organization.
They can spend money on their own players if they feel they really need them back but they need impact players that can come in and make this team a true Super Bowl contender once again.
Here are five moves Dallas can make that could get them back into the Super Bowl conversation.
5 moves that would make Cowboys a Super Bowl contender
1. Sign highly-touted WR
It’s always a difficult balancing act when teams are looking to add free-agent talent to their roster, you want someone that can come in and make an immediate impact but isn’t going to be a headache in the locker room.
The Cowboys are in this exact situation heading into 2023; they know they need receiver help and looked to bring someone in and even trade for a player in 2022 to help Dak Prescott and this offense, but were unable to finalize a deal. The closest they may have gotten was with the courting of Odell Beckham Jr., but that also fell through due to his recovery time from the ACL injury he suffered in the Super Bowl.

Beckham Jr. is now posting videos of his workouts in order to show teams he’s going to be ready to go for the 2023 season.
That should be all the Dallas front office needs in order to get them back on board in starting negotiations with Beckham Jr. and his team once again. Adding a receiver of his caliber would immediately help this offense with his route running ability and his knowledge of all three receiver positions, taking pressure off CeeDee Lamb and Prescott.
The Cowboys were the closest team to signing Beckham Jr., and that should give them the upper hand against other teams if they can start talking to him early enough and would be a win-win situation for both sides if they can work out a deal.
