But if they see an opportunity to upgrade massively in support of rookie Drake Maye, a quick flip could be in the cards.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they\u2019d have to throw in a first-round pick because elite receivers are such hot commodities right now. Tyreek Hill commanded a first, a second, two fourths and a sixth pick before also getting his bag from the Dolphins two years ago. This shouldn\u2019t be far off of that.<\/p>\n<p>This deal would allow Dallas raise a bunch of salary-cap space and draft capital while still landing a high-ceiling receiver, with the bonus of Lamb leaving the conference and joining a non-contender.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"incontent-ad-1\" class=\"pw-incontent\" data-label=\"Advertisement\"><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">CeeDee Lamb always looking to score. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cowboys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cowboys<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YUZX1OPYv4\">pic.twitter.com\/YUZX1OPYv4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ernie The Cowboys Fan (@es3_09) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/es3_09\/status\/1820192027906294144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Polk was drafted 37th overall by the Patriots after a tremendous final season with the Washington Huskies.

He\u2019s the franchise\u2019s best offensive playmaker, and replacing a game-changing talent of his caliber is easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>Quite frankly, Jerry Jones has no excuse not to pay his top receiver.
