The Dallas Cowboys' approval ratings are already low, and the team may need to make a big splash to gain momentum and get fans excited. Expecting Mike McCarthy to return as head coach next year is already adding to the frustration. They could change the narrative this offseason by surfacing Stefon Diggs trade rumors.
Let the Stefon Diggs trade rumors begin. After a frustrating season with the Buffalo Bills, he could be on his way. The Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, once again failing to make the playoffs. A missed field goal late in the fourth quarter perhaps further reinforced the feeling that a new team is needed. The Dallas Cowboys could be the team that sparks a trade.
Bleacher Report's RJ Ochoa has already hinted at the star receiver as a potential trade candidate for the Cowboys. The move would make sense as he will be locked in as a playmaker along with his younger brother Trevon Diggs. The only harsh thing the Cowboys can do is let one of their players go in a package deal. This could happen because Jerry Jones could be up to a trick.
This is notable because the front office may want to encourage fans to watch games again after many fans are frustrated and claim they won't watch the next game. right.

Stefon Diggs trade will have a big impact on Brandin Cooks
wide receiver swap
Diggs would be a huge upgrade over current Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks. Dallas will likely need more additions to the contract. A successful trade may involve multiple selections. But it's all up to the Bills, and the Bills haven't talked about moving him at all.
Trevon Diggs dreamed of his brother Stefon coming to Dallas. The Cowboys haven't had an ounce of legitimate success in the playoffs. One thing that probably all Cowboys can agree on is that they are regular season warriors. Stephon could be the missing piece in Dallas, and filling that spot would be huge for them.
Cooks has only been with Dallas for one year, so that in and of itself wouldn't be a huge loss. The only hit the Cowboys can take other than the cap is the amount of draft picks they receive. Dallas always has young players on their roster, so this could be a big risk for them. However, a huge Wide Receiver combination could be on the horizon.
Ceedee Lamb may form a new duo
This would be a dream come true for Dak Prescott, who runs an offense and needs the weapons he can get. Lamb has taken on a heavy workload, and the addition of Stephon will help alleviate some of that pressure. This could be a new pairing that could finally get some results for a playoff spot. If Dallas' front office is serious about making a change, this is a move that could be considered.
Stephon has eclipsed 1,000 yards in six consecutive seasons and has 107 receptions. Lamb is also building his resume, carving out his own lane and making his own history. Having Lamb and Stephon on the same team would be a nightmare for NFL secondaries. This move will shock the league and could make the Cowboys' offense unstoppable.
But it will be up to Dallas to get a new weapon to help Prescott and take pressure off Ferguson and Kavonte Turpin.
