The Dallas Cowboys have an opportunity to bring in another Pro Bowl caliber Wide Receiver to their depth chart. D.J Chark, who has spent his time in the NFL with five different teams (Jacksonville who drafted him, Detroit, Carolina and Chargers) and has been considering retirement.
On July 17th, Chark was asked if his plan was to retire from the NFL. Chark responded “Well I am mulling retirement but, if the Cowboys come calling, I would be very interested.” He also mentioned Houston or New Orleans because of geographical location to where he wants to end up living. (Note Chark visited the Bears on Monday) Chark made the Pro Bowl in 2019 as a member of the Jaguars. 2019 is the only season Chark has gone for over 1,000 yards. Injuries have hampered Chark’s career, he’s only played in 15 games twice in his career, but he’ll be 29 during the season and would provide an instant deep threat to go along with Cee Dee Lamb and recently acquired WR George Pickens.
The Cowboys currently have a little over $24 million in salary cap left for this season. Looking over Chark’s numbers I would offer a 2-year deal for $12 million paying him $6 million per season, max. That’s beyond a fair offer for a former pro bowl receiver. Chark would probably land as the third or fourth receiver along with Kavonte Turpin and Jalen Tolbert competing for spots. If the Dallas Cowboys go this way it not only will be an instant upgrade but will give Dak Prescott the best targets he has had in a few years.
