Fresh WR meat suddenly on the open market. Terrelle Pryor

[_sturt_]

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/10/20/jets-to-cut-terrelle-pryor/

Says for some odd reason, Jets decided to cut him rather than just wait out a groin injury that is thought to keep him on the shelf for 2 weeks.

Tempting.

He's been fairly productive, including a TD in his last two games...

Any takers?

No. Obviously something is going on here with him being cut

If Dez was released for his inability to run clean routes then there is 0 Reasons to bring in Pryor. He runs bad routes and only put up good numbers because he played for some of the worst teams. RW effect when your team is always losing and not a threat to win your numbers get inflated. He would be about as good as Hurns or anyone else on the outside this team has.

only read that he is hurt, out for two weeks. Browns may want to resign when healthy.

 

[Techsass]

Why not? I wonder how close he still is to that 4.38

Dude has done nothing the past few years. No more retreads.

Hopefully, we will pick up someone young and good in the mid-season draft.

Let Gallup and Butler develop, and draft someone next year

 

[Proof]

I’ve always irrationally liked him

 

[gimmesix]

I'd take him as an upgrade to Butler.

 

[cowboyec]

more Michael Gallup...please and thank you.

I think he's worth taking a chance on (assuming he comes back healthy from injury) for a number of reasons of interest to the Cowboys:

His size: 6'4" 228 lbs
His speed: 4.38
Cowboys have a need at receiver; especially given Austin's status (groin injury) and William's status (IR)
He's cheap (was only making $2.0MM/yr)
He's been somewhat productive in the NFL; at least as much as Brice Butler - if not more so.
He provides an emergency option at QB as he ran the read option offense at Ohio St. (the same style offense Dak is running). Even as a WR, he likely has a feel for how to adjust his route running to the defense in this system.

I can imagine seeing him and Brice Butler on opposite sides of the offense with Beasley in the slot. Two big, tall, and fast receivers on the edges, with a speedy slot guy underneath.

Add Gallup & Austin into the mix when healthy (cut Hurns).

I like that scenario a helluva lot more than what we have now.

Nah- something else for sure. Teams don’t cut players for that.... not ones that are playing a part already

 

[JohnsKey19]

The Commanders players didn't like him. NYJ is letting him walk in Week 7....not worth the headache for a marginal player.

Last season he did nothing. The season before he had a really good year.

 

[Batman1980]

Pass on the guy with a severe enough groin injury to get cut.

 

[Verdict]

Dude has done nothing the past few years. No more retreads.

He could be groomed to play safety.

Better him thanDez. Come to think of it a traffic cone is better than Dez.

 

[dsturgeon]

Dez, Witten, Frederick, Williams, Hanna, Morris, Green, Mcfadden, switzer are all gone or out. That is major change through out the whole offense.

These guys just need to play, and figure out how to make it work. They didn't play much during the preseason, and you could see that at the start of the year. There is no one available that they could bring in that would make them a top offense in the league.

They need to establish their new identity, and distance themselves from the romo era/playstyle. The only way to do that is practice. They can draft a playmaker or two over the next few years.
