With standout Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant in the fold, Dallas now has the luxury of having a solid trio of receivers for quarterback Tony Romo to work with.

Unfortunately for the other players at the position, that means the Cowboys will more than likely be shopping them around throughout the remainder of this weekend’s activities, and the first one to go is expected to Sam Hurd.

According to Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas, the Cowboys have initiated discussions with teams that may have an interest in acquiring Hurd, and should be able to find a suitor for his services in exchange for a low round pick.

Hurd is a special teams ace, with 19 tackles to his credit last season, and has the ability to become a solid receiver in the right situation. In Dallas, he’s had to work behind a big group of competitors for playing time, making the learning curve a bit steeper.

The most likely candidate to obtain Hurd at this point is Kansas City, as they definitely have a need at wide receiver, and have experience with Hurd’s abilities courtesy of head coach Todd Haley’s time spent coaching the Cowboys receivers. Hurd would also give the Chiefs a much needed boost on special teams as well.
