Cowboys fans were already lamenting the state of their WR room as well as their team’s lack of action in this offseason. And that was before 49ers superstar Deebo Samuel reportedly announced he wants out of San Francisco. Addressing the receiving corps immediately-perhaps even before the draft- just became a hot topic in Dallas again. All this as new Browns receiver Amari Cooper speaks publicly for the first time about leaving the Cowboys.
Bobby Wagner is dishing, too, explaining what went wrong with his apparently-extensive talks about joining the Cowboys. Two Cowboys safeties are eyeing new teams with in-person visits, Travis Frederick is shooting down any notion of an NFL comeback in his future, and we’re looking at possible compensatory picks for 2023. All that, plus an update in the Jerry Jones paternity case, and a look back at how the league has evolved its stance on marijuana usage by players. That’s all ahead in News and Notes.

The talented receiver reportedly wants out of San Francisco. And on Twitter, he liked a post from a user who had created an image of him in a Cowboys uniform. Many are taking the two items as one big sign that Samuel must want to come to Dallas. But he wouldn’t be the first to play up an interest in wearing the star merely as a point of leverage.

A case can be made for the Cowboys using their first pick on a defensive end or offensive lineman, but Jerry Jones does love the wide receivers. Alvin Harper, Dez Bryant, and CeeDee Lamb were all top picks; three times since 2000, Jones has traded a top pick to get a pass-catcher. With a deep draft class this year, the Cowboys may go to that well once again.
