Per Dr. James Andrews medical team, mid to late Sept … unless there are any set backs.

Same goes for Dallas WR & Free Agent Michael Gallup.

Yeah, heard the same. I just can't see us waiting until September to make a move on a free agent WR. At least not one that can be counted on as part of the foundation of the WR corps. Sure, a deal could be made contingent on a successful recovery, but that's taking a gamble on losing out on healthy options available as soon as March 16th, the beginning of the free agent cycle.

Seems likes there are more viable FA options at WR than there are at
other offense positions (RB, QB, TE)..all of which the team needs help at. I can see a FA signing there as good investment. Godwin included.

The premium will be good to elite offensive linemen, and you're only getting those in the draft this year, especially with the limited cap room...

There are some additions that could be made to WR that would more than improve what we have now and with a flooded FA market, at a cap friendly price...

And if we miss on a WR in the first round, then we're really in a bind...

But I agree, we've got to address WR in both FA and Draft, just not convinced we got to do it in the draft on Day 1; especially when we've been better on WR on Day 2...

And I get the frustration of why so many want to get it done on Day 1, but I'm not sold on some of the Day 1 grades on some of these WRs when they were exposed in bowl games...
