3 Cowboys free agents who could follow OC Kellen Moore to Chargers

Here is a look at three realistic options Kellen Moore could bring from Dallas to Los Angeles.

With Kellen Moore joining the Chargers as their new offensive coordinator, they could look to bring in some of his former players when free agency begins next month.

While they’re not in a favorable position with spending money at the moment, Los Angeles will likely make some moves to free up some salary cap space so they can add some.

That being said, here is a look at three realistic options that Moore could bring to L.A.

WR Noah Brown

The main element that the Chargers need at wide receiver is speed, which I believe will be added via the draft. Still, they could remodel the position group, especially if Keenan Allen is a cap causality. Brown is coming off his productive season as a pro, where he amassed 43 catches on 74 targets (12.9 yards per catch) for 555 yards and three touchdowns. Brown was a go-to target when the Cowboys needed to move the chains, as more than half of his receptions went for first down. Brown has a strong, well-proportioned frame with the catch radius, body control, adjustment skills and hands to win down the field and in contested situations. Additionally, he is an insistent blocker, which would greatly benefit the run game.

QB Cooper Rush

Chase Daniel and Easton Stick are set to be free agents in March, and it’s difficult to see a scenario where they are brought back. Instead, it would make sense for the Chargers to bring someone well-versed in Moore’s system. This season, Rush was 4-1 as Dallas’ starter in place of an injured Dak Prescott. Rush has 125 of 212 passing (59 completion percentage) for 1,475 yards and eight touchdowns, to four interceptions.

OL Connor McGovern

Matt Feiler is the most likely cut casualty after a rough 2022 season. Starting Jamaree Salyer at left guard next season is viewed as the likeliest option, but filling that void with someone who has starting experience at the position, like McGovern, could be more appealing. McGovern was efficient as a pass blocker, allowing 22 pressures and two sacks on 486 pass-blocking snaps in 2022. McGovern was also a fixture in the Cowboys’ rushing attack. He had his own wrinkle as a fullback, tight end and even out as a wide receiver. Additionally, McGovern can play center in a pinch.

The Dallas Cowboys season came to an abrupt end last Sunday, and now it is time to look forward to the offseason. Dak Prescott is recovering well from his injury. Amari Cooper had a “clean-up” procedure on his injured ankle, but should definitely be good-to-go for 2021.
