The Dallas Cowboys have added a veteran receiver to the mix, just not the one many originally expected. During the offseason, after jettisoning Amari Cooper to create much needed cap space, there was a lot of speculation whether or not Dallas would sign a cheaper veteran to help fill the void. A handful of names were floated around, with the Cowboys settling on unmentioned James Washington on a very inexpensive deal.
As the season has gone on, speculation that the Cowboys were going to land Odell Beckham, Jr. crescendoed over the course of two months, until he came in for a visit and it became public knowledge he still had rehab work to do before getting on the field. The Cowboys aren’t going to stand pat, even if they remain interested in Beckham’s services. On Monday, following their narrow victory over the 1-11-1 Houston Texans, Dallas looked to boost their receiving corps by signing four-time Pro Bowler T.Y. Hilton.
But what does Hilton bring to the table and what does it mean for the WR picture in Dallas?
