Bill Barnwell of ESPN authored a piece on Tuesday that dove headfirst into the handful of teams he says should make a move for Adams. Among those squads are the Cowboys.
“After signing Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to massive extensions, team owner Jerry Jones has been forced to cry poverty as a justification for not signing Derrick Henry ,” Barnwell wrote . “Dallas has started 2-2, but having just lost Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence with injuries, this doesn’t feel like a team heading in the right direction.”
