Cowboys agree to 1-year deal with WR Cobb

The Dallas Cowboys filled a need by agreeing to a one-year contract with veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb, the team announced Tuesday.

The deal is worth $5 million, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Cobb visited with the Cowboys at The Star on Monday, taking a physical and meeting with coaches and staff. The club also met with safety Clayton Geathers on Monday, with safety Eric Berry, defensive lineman Malik McDowell and defensive end Robert Quinn visiting on Tuesday.

Quinn and Berry concluded their visits without any deals pending. Quinn is scheduled to visit with the New Orleans Saints, while Berry is looking at other options as well.

The Cowboys and Miami Dolphins have had discussions regarding a trade for Quinn, according to multiple sources. Cobb fills a need after the Cowboys lost slot receiver Cole Beasley in free agency to the Buffalo Bills last week on a four-year, $29 million deal that included $14.4 million in guaranteed money. Cobb joins Allen Hurns and Tavon Austin as slot players on Dallas’ roster.

Hurns is coming back from a gruesome ankle injury suffered in a wild-card win in January against the Seattle Seahawks; Austin agreed to a one-year deal last week.

Cobb, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers, has played parts in ending two of the Cowboys’ last three playoff seasons (2014, ’16). Now the Cowboys hope he can help extend their postseason success by helping Dak Prescott.

Prescott had a 93.9 Total QBR in 2018 when targeting slot receivers, the 3rd-best mark in the NFL behind Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes. Cobb, a second-round pick (64th overall) in 2011, is one of just five players in Packers history with at least 60 catches in four straight seasons (2014 to 2017). He ranks sixth in franchise history with 470 catches and 11th in both receiving yards (5,524) and touchdown catches (41).
