The Dallas Cowboys' offense is firing on all cylinders right now. First-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer has this team putting up big numbers, and Dak Prescott has posted MVP-caliber numbers all year long.
However, even the best things can be improved, and this passing game isn't the exception to the rule. With that in mind, perhaps Jerry Jones would want to make the most of Keon Coleman's situation with the Buffalo Bills.
Cowboys Should Go After Keon Coleman This Offseason
Coleman was a healthy scratch on Thursday night in the Bills' road loss to the Houston Texans. He was with the team but was inactive for the second game in a row, and he had already been disciplined twice earlier in his career, once against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024 and once against the New England Patriots earlier in the season.
Considering that, it's hard to believe he's going to be a part of the team next season. He should be considered a major reclamation project, and one the Cowboys should definitely consider, given his age and that he was a second-round pick not so long ago.
Jalen Tolbert is on an expiring contract, and it doesn't seem like he's going to be back. Jonathan Mingo has been a non-factor, so he could also be cut. That leaves the door wide open for Coleman to compete with Ryan Flournoy for snaps behind CeeDee Lamb and -- hopefully -- George Pickens.
Coleman took responsibility for reportedly being late to meetings, and while he didn't want to get too much into the situation, Bills head coach Sean McDermott seems to believe that he still has plenty of growing up to do.
"I'm aware of how he handled it more publicly, and I appreciate that and respect that," McDermott said Tuesday, per ESPN. "And now it's again, one day at a time, and earning the trust and respect of the teammates. And that takes time, so that each day that goes by, you check 'em off as wins, trust builds. So, that's the important piece of it."
The Cowboys already rolled the dice on a trouble-making wide receiver this offseason, and it certainly paid off. Coleman is on a rookie contract, and he would be more than willing to take the risk at the right price.
He was supposed to be Josh Allen's primary pass-catcher this season, but he's up to just 32 receptions on 49 targets for 330 yards and three touchdowns. Over 22 career games, Coleman has compiled 61 receptions for 886 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Still, the talent is most definitely there, and he could take this offense to an even higher level in 2026 and beyond.
