Raiders reveal cost for All-Pro wide receiver

The Dallas Cowboys could use a boost at wide receiver as CeeDee Lamb shows a lack of experience on the field. Besides Lamb, the Cowboys' most consistent targets have been tight end Jake Ferguson and fullback Hunter Luepke.

If the Cowboys could add another threat to Lamb, it would open up the passing game in a much-needed way.

One option that is emerging is Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams.

Adams previously played for Mike McCarthy, who was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers when the team drafted him in 2014.

Whether a trade for Adams ultimately works out remains to be seen, but if Jerry Jones and Co. don't make a decision, they're doing themselves and Dak Prescott a disservice.
