NFC contender the Dallas Cowboys may sign 1,000-yard free agent and former Baltimore Raven wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell this offseason. The Cowboys have been linked to a few wideout rumors this free agency but they have been the most quiet team. They had opportunities to see a valuable veteran for cheap but they haven’t been able to fill on the “all-in” promise when it comes to roster moves. According to a source, the team could turn to the former first-rounder for help.
Treadwell hasn’t been living up to his expectations but he’s still in his prime and looking for a new NFL home. They were able to take a look at Zay Jones but he chose to sign with the Arizona Cardinals. However, the wide receiver market may be slimming but there are still a few veterans available. Hunter Renfrow and Michael Thomas are two surprising names that haven’t found a home.
There aren’t a lot of quality wideouts available but that wouldn’t matter since the position is the biggest need for America’s team. Treadwell has been playing in the league’s minimum salary or close to it for the past four seasons. This means he could be a high-risk, low-cost effective option for a team that’s looking for a WR3. It’s unlikely that the Cowboys will make a gamble of trading for a receiver since they’re already not making moves as it is.
The release of Martavis Bryant could signify that a new receiver signing could be coming soon this summer. Mandatory camp is next month so it’ll be interesting who the Cowboys will bring in to work out for them. Jarvis Landry is attempting an NFL comeback so one may wonder if America’s team will take a look at him.
NFC Contender Dallas Cowboys May Sign 1,000-Yard Free Agent Laquon Treadwell
How He Fits
Treadwell has been playing on a low salary of less than $1 million since 2019, according to Spotrac. This could intrigue the Cowboys who are always looking for players on a low budget. Especially, they are in dire need of a receiver to help CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. It wouldn’t be the worst idea or else the other scenario would be bigger shoes for Jalen Tolbert to fill.
However, Treadwell had a lot of upside after being drafted in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. His rookie campaign was a complete flop as he only made one catch for 15 yards in nine games. It didn’t get better in his sophomore year for the NFL after notching just 200 receiving yards. In his four years, he was only able to contribute 65 catches for 701 yards and two touchdowns.
The Ole Miss product became a journeyman in his career after spending it with the Falcons, Jaguars, Patriots, Cardinals and Seahawks. Most of his time spent was on the practice squad where he was fighting for a roster spot. He could finally get an opportunity with America’s team. If not, here are some possible landing spots for Treadwell.
Possible Landing Spots
The Chiefs always have bad luck when it comes to wide receivers. Rashee Rice dealing with off-field issues and Xavier Worthy is now in the mix of drama as well. One should assume that the Chiefs could add Treadwell on a cheap deal in case of any receiver difficulties. However, another available spot is teaming with Derek Carr in New Orleans.
The team doesn’t have a lot of experienced receivers other than Chris Olave but that doesn’t look promising. Treadwell is better than no experience and should be a good bargain gamble. There has been speculation that the Panthers could trade Adam Thielen so in this case they could replace him with Treadwell. It wouldn’t be costly and it’s better than no replacement.

New report suggests Christian Wilkins release related to 'incident' with teammate
There may be more to Christian Wilkins’ recent surprise release from the Las Vegas Raiders. NFL reporter Josina Anderson reported Saturday that "some sources believe an incident involving a teammate may have factored in-part into the Raiders' fatigue and release" of Wilkins. The nature of the incident is not clear. However, many believe the Raiders had a very good reason to move on from Wilkins considering the money they had invested in him. It also suggests the Raiders saw no alternative if they went straight to a release. Wilkins was dumped by the Raiders just one year into a four-year, $110 million deal. The Raiders suggested Wilkins failed to take rehab seriously as he tries to work his way back from a foot injury. Other teams do not appear to have the same concerns about Wilkins as the Raiders did, and he should find a new landing spot fairly easily. That is one of the reasons some suspect there is more to the Raiders’ decision than they are publicly saying.
All signs point to Yankees moving on from Anthony Volpe
With the trade for Ryan McMahon now complete, it would seem New York Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman has fulfilled one of his three priorities. He can now cross third base off the list, which leaves the rotation and bullpen as his remaining priorities. However, according to one Yankees writer, Cashman might not be done with the infield. Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reported this after the McMahon trade: “The Yankees may not be done adding to their infield. A team source said the Yankees are interested in adding a right-handed hitter who could play the infield.” Kirschner adds that the Yankees have had interest in Willi Castro and Amed Rosario. But the question now is, how would another player fit in the Yankees’ infield? Needless to say, Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr. aren’t going anywhere, and McMahon is just getting there. That leaves the low-hanging fruit. Anthony Volpe has been at the center of controversy all this season. His 13 errors, many of which had come at make-or-break moments, amount to the second-highest total in the game. In addition, his bat has not been able to compensate, hitting .214/.286/.407 with 14 home runs. There was always a lot to like about Volpe. He won a Gold Glove in his rookie year, his power has always been promising and his speed is nothing to scoff at. Unfortunately, his glove has become a liability and his speed has also produced very few results. Volpe has swiped just 10 bags in 17 attempts. His power is the one thing that still has some upside, but it hasn’t been enough to justify a spot in the lineup. Both Castro and Rosario have been far more productive at the plate this season than Volpe. Kirschner doesn’t clarify how serious the Yankees are in their pursuit of another infielder, but that most likely isn’t available information. Having just turned 24, Volpe could still become the type of player that was expected from him as a top prospect. However, his recent performance has weighed heavily on his team’s efforts and it may be buying him a ticket out of the Bronx — or at least a spot on the bench.
Green Bay Packers: Released Titans CB, Undrafted Free Agent Fills Final 91st Spot on Green & Gold Roster
Three days into training camp, with a day off Saturday, the Green Bay Packers announced the final signing to fill the 91-player offseason unit: cornerback Garnett Hollis Jr., added as undrafted free agent by the Titans in May but released later to clear roster room. Hollis joins Green Bay Packers’ motley crew of CBs behind top 3 guys Hollis played four seasons in college, his last with West Virginia after transferring from Northwestern. In three years of real playing time, he recorded 120 tackles, 2 INTs, and 12 passes defensed. He started 29 of 39 career games. The 6-foot, 199-pound corner is a native of Nashville, Tennessee, but will head back north for the summer. The Packers have announced that he will wear no. 41 during camp. Although the 90th and 91st signings were named together in the team’s formal release, the arrival of running back Israel Abanikanda, a waiver pickup from San Francisco, was reported yesterday by various sources. Over at cornerback, Hollis will join fellow rookies Jonathan Baldwin, Tyron Herring, and Micah Robinson, Green Bay’s penultimate pick of the 2025 draft at 237th overall. In addition to that group is a number of fringe players with or without NFL snaps. Bo Melton has also completed his CB position switch from receiver. The only sure things at the position are Keisean Nixon, free agent signing Nate Hobbs, and third-year man Carrington Valentine. According to his West Virginia bio, Hollis earned a bachelor’s degree from Northwestern in education and social policy, and worked toward a master’s in sports management while with the Mouintaneers. Although undrafted free agents, let alone 91st signings, have an uphill battle, playing alongside a guy like Valentine, who has made a career for himself as a former 232nd pick, can offer encouragement. Per Spotrac, Hollis, 23, made $82,500 in guaranteed money, including a $12,500 signing bonus, from his contract with Tennessee.
Dodgers Announce Max Muncy Update After 16 Straight Missed Games
Third baseman Max Muncy is in his eighth season with the Los Angeles Dodgers after debuting with the Oakland Athletics in 2015. Muncy failed to establish himself as a reliable major-league hitter in Oakland, but his career took off in Los Angeles. The 34-year-old left-handed slugger has made two All-Star teams with the Dodgers and appeared in 905 games, hitting 203 home runs and driving in 575 runs. He’s also been a postseason hero, batting .217 with 44 hits, 13 homers, 34 RBIs and 38 runs scored across 62 career playoff games, and he’s won two World Series titles (2020, 2024). On July 2 against the Chicago White Sox, Muncy sustained a left knee bone bruise after a collision at third base while making a tag. An MRI showed no structural damage, and although his initial recovery timeline was set at six weeks, the Dodgers announced he could begin a rehab assignment next week and return ahead of schedule. His rehab progress has expedited his return timetable, and the team is eagerly anticipating his comeback. During his absence, the Dodgers have dropped five of 16 games, and their division lead dropped to five games over the San Diego Padres. His veteran presence has been missed in the clubhouse as much as his bat has been at the plate. In 2025, Muncy is batting .250 with an .832 OPS, 13 home runs, 55 RBIs and 51 walks while hitting in the heart of the Dodgers' lineup.
