Breaking News: Cowboys Now set to Trade Another Superstar Receiver
The Dallas Cowboys are currently facing a decline in their approval rating, and to regain momentum and fan excitement, they might need to make a significant move. The potential return of Mike McCarthy as head coach for the next year is causing frustration among fans. One way to change the narrative could be to initiate trade rumors involving Stefon Diggs during the offseason.
With a disappointing season with the Buffalo Bills, Diggs might be looking for a change. The Bills’ unsuccessful playoff run, coupled with a fourth-quarter downfall and a missed late field goal, suggests that a new team might be in his best interest. The Dallas Cowboys could potentially be that team to spark a trade.
RJ Ochoa from Bleacher Report is already proposing Stefon Diggs as a potential trade candidate for the Cowboys. This move would be logical, especially considering the opportunity to pair him with his brother, Trevon Diggs, as a playmaker. The only potential obstacle for the Cowboys could be parting ways with one of their players in a package deal, which Jerry Jones might consider as he is known for strategic moves.
This could be a significant development for the Cowboys’ front office, aiming to rekindle fan interest and viewership, especially after reports of fan frustration and reluctance to watch further games.
Stefon Diggs Trade would make a significant hump over Brandin Cooks
The Wide Receiver Swap
Diggs would represent a substantial improvement compared to the current Cowboys wide receiver, Brandin Cooks. The likelihood is that Dallas will need to sweeten the deal by offering additional assets, possibly including multiple draft picks. The decision ultimately rests with the Bills, who haven’t shown any inclination to trade him.

Trevon Diggs has envisioned his brother, Stefon, joining the Dallas team. The Cowboys have struggled to achieve significant success in the playoffs, with their strengths predominantly seen in the regular season. Stefon could bring the spark that Dallas is lacking, potentially making a considerable impact.
Considering Cooks has only been with Dallas for a year, his departure wouldn’t be a major setback, aside from the impact on the team’s salary cap. The primary concern for the Cowboys would be the potential loss of draft picks. Despite the inherent risk, Dallas typically leans towards building a young roster, making it a calculated gamble. The prospect of a formidable Wide Receiver duo could be on the horizon.
Ceedee Lamb Could have a New Duo
This scenario would fulfill Dak Prescott’s dreams as he commands the offense and requires additional weapons. Lamb has been shouldering a significant workload, and Stefon’s arrival would ease some of that burden. Together, they could form a dynamic duo capable of delivering tangible results for a deep playoff run. If the Dallas front office is truly committed to change, this move should be seriously considered.
Stefon boasts an impressive record of six consecutive seasons surpassing 1,000 yards with 107 receptions each time. Meanwhile, Lamb is building his own impressive resume. Having both Lamb and Stefon on the same team would pose a significant challenge for NFL secondaries, potentially making the Cowboys’ offense nearly unstoppable. To make this happen, it’s crucial for Dallas to acquire a new weapon to support Prescott and lessen the pressure on Ferguson and Kavontae Turpin.
