The Cowboys’ wide receiver room may be thinned out even further in the very near future.
Free agent Malik Turner visited the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Field Yates. The 26-year-old Illinois native has been with the Cowboys for the past two years, after spending his first two pro seasons in Seattle.
The depth chart in Dallas has been in a bit of flux at the position this offseason, following the trade of Amari Cooper to Cleveland and the departure of Cedrick Wilson in free agency. They re-signed Noah Brown and added former Steelers receiver James Washington.
The Cowboys are widely expected to be looking at pass-catchers in the upcoming draft.
But whatever shuffling the receiving corps may see, Turner might not figure into the Cowboys’ plans. The one-year contract he signed with the club last March expired following a season in which he caught 12 balls for 149 yards and three touchdowns over 14 game appearances. He was additionally a regular special-teams contributor.
Turner’s most noteworthy outing came in Week 9 when he caught the team’s only two touchdowns late in a blowout loss to Denver.

Arizona is reportedly Turner’s first free agency visit this offseason. The Cardinals roster is seeing some churn this offseason; wide receiver Christian Kirk is now with Jacksonville, and longtime veteran A.J. Green is a question mark to return to the club. They were the 2021 team leaders among wide receivers in both receptions and receiving yards.
DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore remain with the Cardinals, along with several other receivers.
CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Washington, Brown, Simi Fehoko, Brandon Smith, and T.J. Vasher are the receivers on the Cowboys roster.
