It was the best game of his career, and the result of his hard work matched with the Cowboys\u2019 patience in his development. Tolbert has\u00a0247 receiving yards this year, nearly double the 280 yards he had in his career before this season.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the receiving corps is thin once you get past Lamb and Tolbert, with\u00a0Brandin Cooks\u00a0dealing with a knee injury and a subsequent infection.\u00a0KaVontae Turpin\u00a0is the No. 3 receiver and the Cowboys could have to turn to rookie\u00a0Ryan Flournoy if there is an injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys can\u2019t count on a return of Cooks to full strength this year, and if they\u2019re serious about remaining in contention, they\u2019ll clearly need to give\u00a0 Prescott more offensive weapons.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, the folks at\u00a0Bleacher Report suggest the Cowboys are a potential trade landing spot for one of the better receivers who could hit the block in the coming weeks\u2014and no, it\u2019s no Davante Adams.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Bengals star Tee Higgins.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tee Higgins Trade Would Require Bengals Collapse<\/h2>\n<p>Higgins, no doubt, would be a sought-after commodity if he were to hit the trade block. With\u00a0Cincinnati\u00a0having bungled its way to a 1-4 start, that is looking increasingly possible. Higgins is a free agent this offseason, and given his price tag\u2013$21 million this year, with an estimated market value of\u00a0$99 million over four years, according to Spotrac\u2014the Bengals can\u2019t afford to keep both him and WR1 Ja\u2019Marr Chase.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys could benefit. A trade proposal of a third-rounder for Higgins might be enough to get the Bengals to cash out on him.<\/p>\n<p>Cincinnati could be back to .500 by the trade deadline, and if it is, Higgins won\u2019t be going anywhere. He looked fully healthy in Sunday\u2019s loss to the Baltimore Ravens and finished with nine catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Bengals continue to blow games, however, Higgins would be a logical trade commodity because he\u2019s set to be a free agent in the spring,\u201d B\/R\u2019s Kristopher Knox wrote this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHiggins is a high-end No. 2 receiver who should draw a fair return, even in a market that could be flooded with receiver talent. \u2026 Logical suitors include the Kansas City Chiefs, who recently placed Rashee Rice on injured reserve, and the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDallas may have salvaged its season with a much-needed win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, and it could use a strong complement to CeeDee Lamb on the perimeter.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Reluctant In-Season NFL Trade Partners<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys are reluctant when it comes to adding players at the league\u2019s trade deadline, which falls on November 5 this season. That\u2019s been a frustrating reality for fans of the team, especially as the Cowboys cry poverty when it comes to making additions.<\/p>\n<p>With Higgins\u2019 price tag being what it is, the Cowboys will probably pass on him, no matter how much sense he makes.<\/p>\n<p>That means the team will focus on Tolbert\u2019s development. He surely misses Cooks, who was one of his biggest backers on the team, and had been hyping up Tolbert all offseason. Tolbert said Cooks had a message before his departure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just told me to be me,\u201d Tolbert said,\u00a0via the Dallas Morning News.\u00a0\u201cSo get ready for the game and he knows what type of player that I\u2019m capable of being. He knows what I\u2019m made of and he\u2019s looking forward to me going out there and getting opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyCowboys potential trade target Tee Higgins Maybe the Cowboys\u00a0found themselves their No. 2 wide receiver behind\u00a0CeeDee Lamb\u00a0last week against Pittsburgh, when\u00a0Jalen Tolbert\u00a0stepped up and caught the game-winning&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
