Well to be fair. Butler pretty much did the same thing, and he's now sporting the star. Question is, would Dez be more productive than Butler, and any other reciever on the squad? Having been served a huge helping of humble pie, it may have eradicated the side of Dez, that wasn't liked by certain teammates, coaches and fans.

True, though Butler didn't throw team mates under the bus. As for Dez being more productive than butler. I don't know. I believed last year that he wasn't a true #1 anymore. #1s get double covered and teams didn't even bother double covering Dez anymore. Hard to tell how far he has fallen.

they should cover the people in the first row... Dak is just as likely to complete a pass to them.

I guess the Jury is still out on Dak. BTW out of curiosity, why do you think Dez hasn't been getting the offers he wants?
There is a myriad of reasons....... look at the teams that could actually benefit from a veteran like Dez.......or better yet, eliminate the teams that cant really use him.If you are a team that has zero chance of really contending... why would you want him? So take all of the teams with QBs in their first 2 seasons and basically eliminate those teams. They are looking down the road and dont need a personality like Dez.Now eliminate the teams that are in not the best shape with the cap. Now eliminate the true contenders that dont need a WR...I mean you can quickly see how you could get down to only a couple of teams. Also add in the fact that the Cowboys screwed him over, and instead of releasing him early, they released him after teams had basically signed all the free agents out there.

We have heard that Dez turned down an offer to play in Baltimore that could end up being a really bad decision, as it looks like that could have actually been a great place for him to go. Bottom lijne is he is young, but just like in 2015with crappy qbs, he had to play 16 and 17 with Dak the WR killer.

You think we are like 30th in passing ONLY because we have a bunch of crappy WRs? cmon

You make it black and white.

I think its various shades of gray.

the team has made its statement..

Dez has done his..

Now both parties are wounded and neither has found an answer.

To me its about the whole team..

not just Dez like you say.

But if you are trying to put the best team on the field..

so far we are underachieving with the WRs.

Time to take a chance to help ourselves.

We missed the boat with Earl Thomas for now.

Do a deal with Dez he can achieve and make his money back if he performs.

That's all I want.

I want to win.

Pride is not an issue and should not be with his teammates.

Winning has a tendency to overlook things if necessary.

I think Dez in Dallas is necessary.

I don't think the Cowboys are wounded at all in terms of being all butt hurt over things said, nor in terms of receivers they are trotting out on the field.

I can honestly say that I do not believe that Dez would be an asset to this team even he were willing to play for free.

Dez Bryant can still play, this narrative that he can't is just foolishness. So he leaves and I guess the whole receiving core takes off numbers out the roof, let's just face it the quarterback is just not a good passer at this time no one in this league would do well on the Cowboys right now.

Actually the idea that Dez cant play seems to be shared by 32 NFL teams. Even Josh Gordon found another team. The dude just can't play and is in a day dream world in which he thinks he is somehow still relevant.

I'm not for resigning him because of what has happened. Anyone would be fools to think day one that he wouldn't be the best receiver on the team.

32 teams seem to think otherwise.

So, Opposing defenses are up late at night wondering how they can stop Zeke, and possibly Dak. But,, Hurns? Beasely? Gallup? Swaim?

Really? I get that Dez wasn't good last season. What is sad is that he is still better than what they have right now. When Zeke becomes your main WR., There's a problem.

Actually right now a traffic cone is more scary to a defense than Dez Bryant. 32 teams say hello.

Do you guys think Dez reads cowboyszone.com? He has plenty of time on his hands, so there's no reason not to, plus it sounds like he is a big Cowboys fan.

You’re right. He only threw coaches under the bus. No biggie

Dez is 29, not 39. Also, the Ravens and Browns thought he could play but Dez made a bad decision by not taking either one of their offers.

Or maybe it was all just (gasp) made up to generate interest in Dez. Lol. Doesn't that make more sense than believing that the team that offered him a ton of money, wouldn't now sign him for a fraction of that knowing that there is zero market for him. Man you guys are seriously naive.
