4 Former Cowboys Dallas Should Sign for a Reunion in Free Agency

4. Noah Brown

Wide receiver isn't exactly a pressing need for the Cowboys, but fans have their fingers crossed that replacing Michael Gallup is on the priority list. And who doesn't like speculating about additions at one of the most fun positions on the field?

Noah Brown left the Cowboys on a one-year deal from the Houston Texans last year, making a little under $2.5 million. He had a good season in Houston, but his 567 yards and 2 touchdowns on 33 receptions didn't show teams anything his 555 yards and 3 touchdowns on 43 receptions with the Cowboys in 2022 hadn't already.

So while it's a thin wide receiver class this year, he shouldn't cost too much to bring back. That's doubly true when you consider how loaded this receiver rookie class promises to be. Not many teams will have the kind of glaring need that might drive them to overpay someone like Brown.

This should let Dallas fix the mistake of keeping Gallup over Brown.

While his stats didn't necessarily show it, Brown earned a 74.3 grade from PFF last season. That's a higher mark than Gallup has posted in any of his six NFL seasons.

The Cowboys don't have an established WR3 right now (and really won't once they cut Gallup to free up cap space), and that's becoming an increasingly important role in the modern NFL. Bringing Brown back to fill the role makes a ton of sense.
