Cowboys Trade Target: Kayshon Boutte

0:00On April 23rd, Dallas Cowboys got a wide receiver room that's full of promise, but straight up shaky right now. Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, they need to grab another pass catcher, either by picking one or pulling off a trade. George Pickens is the big wild card, no extension in sight, and exec Stephen Jones basically confirmed they're eyeing the franchise tag to avoid, dropping 40 million on a guy with maturity red flags. That tag could spark drama like a holdout, or Pickens reverting to his old ways, maybe even forcing a trade. The rest of the crew? Ryan Flare Noi looks good, but ain't proven as your number 3 or injury backup for stars like CD Lamb. Then you got Paris Campbell, Jonathan Mingo, with barely any production last year, just one catch, 25 yards combined, and Cavante Tervin, solid but never topped 420 yards in the season. Sports and analysts are buzzing about the risks, especially if Pickens flames out, or lamb

It's volatile enough that folks are pushing for quick fixes over waiting on rookies. Here's the fresh angle. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer is spotlighting New England Patriots receiver, Cachon Boot, as a trade target during draft. Week. 23 and in a contract year, Bootays on the block for a day 3 pick, especially if the Pat's land AJ Brown and shift him inside. Boots no rookie gamble, he's top 500 yards twice already. Snagging Bootay makes total sense for Dallas. They got 5 day 3 picks, including a 4th and 3 fifths. He brings instant competition for Flare Noi, steps up on the boundary of needed, and dodges the uncertainty of late round draft picks. Never move to steady that room before things get messy.
