Two receivers will visit the Cowboys this week.

There's a chance both will stay.

Dontrelle Inman and Justin Hunter are currently scheduled to drop by The Star in the next few days, a source said. The club has discussed the possibility of signing both players.

Hunter is the speed option to replace Brice Butler, a free agent the Cowboys clearly have no interest in bringing back. While his best season is modest -- 28 receptions for 498 yards and three touchdowns with Tennessee in 2014 -- Hunter has shown an ability to provide an occasional deep threat.

Inman isn't a deep threat but in many ways he's an ideal fit. He's regarded as an outstanding blocker -- a requirement in the Cowboys' run-first scheme -- and a strong route runner.

Many have fixated on speed in the Cowboys' quest to make the offense more Dak-friendly. But it can be argued quarterback Dak Prescott would be best served by adding quality route runners.

Inman had his best season in 2016 with 58 receptions for 810 yards and four touchdowns for the San Diego Chargers. Quarterback Philip Rivers had this to say about Inman during that season.

"Dontrelle is a good player," Rivers told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "He makes plays. He runs good routes. His main thing is he is dependable. You can count on him to run the right route, to play any position, to do his job every day."

Inman appears to be the stronger choice for the Cowboys at the moment. But the club hasn't rule out signing both receivers if they like what they see later this week.
