There are lots of moving parts with the Cowboys’ plans right now. Even with the moves made to shed salary and push some cap charges down the road, finances will be tight for any further deals. As a result, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is likely to at least hit the open market.

The 26-year-old saw a much bigger role in 2021 and certainly took advantage of it. He posted 45 catches for 602 yards and six touchdowns, all career-highs. For that reason, Clarence Hill Jr. of The Dallas-Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the Cowboys “believe they will be priced out” of his market.

There is still interest on Dallas’ part for a return, however. Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News tweets that the Cowboys want to bring him back, but that they will “want to see” what kind of market develops. With CeeDee Lamb under contract, a new deal with Michael Gallup reportedly close and tight end Dalton Schultz having been franchise tagged earlier Tuesday, a core group of pass-catchers is already in place in Dallas.

While much has been taken care of regarding the Cowboys’ big-name priorities in recent days, they face several other important decisions.
