Dallas Cowboys star target No. 2: Antonio Brown, Wide Receiver

Before free agency opened up, the Dallas Cowboys traded away Amari Cooper. It was a pure salary cap move as they landed just a fifth-round pick while swapping sixths with the Browns.

They were able to use some of that money to retain Michael Gallup but lost Cedrick Wilson to the Miami Dolphins. This could lead to them looking for a third wide receiver and there’s a very talented one asking Jerry Jones to give him a call.

"“Maybe Jerry Jones thinks it looks sexy that I’m putting out all this motivation and all this hard work and encouragement,” Brown said via John Breech of CBS Sports. “Maybe he want to harness some of that energy.”"

Antonio Brown is undoubtedly one of the most talented receivers in the NFL. In his prime, he was in the discussion for the best in the league, and even now into his 30s, he can be tough to cover.

Having said all that, he comes with a ton of baggage. He burnt every bridge in Oakland before ever suiting up for the Raiders, was out in New England almost as soon as he arrived, and while he had a resurgence with Tampa Bay, the last image of him was when he threw off his uniform and left in the middle of a game.

Brown is a wild card for sure, but he’s talented enough to make the offense better. Jerry Jones would love this move. His son Stephen, not so much. Would be interesting to hear the two discuss it though.
