DMN Blog: Looking for receivers
If Terry Glenn is out for a significant portion of the season, do the Cowboys look to make a trade for a receiver or see what's available on the street?
Trades are tricky because teams generally don't like to give up draft picks. But for a team that expects to win now, as the Cowboys have stated, then they might have to give up some of the '07 picks. Not either of their two first-round picks, certainly, but it might have to be a first-day selection to get anybody good.
I saw some reports earlier in camp that Miami's Chris Chambers might be available, but I don't see that happening. The Patriots have a plethora of receivers on their roster and the Joneses certainly get along with the Krafts. Maybe there's something there.
If you're looking on the street, you've got guys like Reche Caldwell, who played for New England last year and helped beat Wade Phillips in the playoffs, Az Hakim and former Cowboys Quincy Morgan and Antonio Bryant. Whomever signs Bryant, however, has to have sit out a game because of an NFL suspension. Here's a name: Keenan McCardell. He's the ultimate professional. He can pick up a system quickly.
