The Dallas Cowboys are bolstering their receiving core following a remarkable NFL Draft from start to finish.

According to DallasCowboys.com writer Patrik Walker, the franchise signed a 27-year-old WR who won a Super Bowl as a rookie alongside future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV).

“Coming out of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys wore ear-to-ear smiles as they immediately turned their attention to free agency, of both theundrafted and veteran variety, looking to add ‘10-12 players to round out the roster’ — three of those seats being awarded to experienced talent that include Marquez Valdes-Scantling.”

“Valdes-Scantling, a 31-year-old journeyman looking to make an impact for the Cowboys in 2026, is signing a one-year deal with Dallas, in addition to two others, namely, wide receiver Tyler Johnson and linebacker Curtis Robinson, who are also signing one-year deals.”

After spending two seasons with the Buccaneers and two with the Los Angeles Rams, Johnson joined the New York Jets for the 2025-26 season. In 12 games with New York, Johnson contributed 197 receiving yards and one touchdown.
