Damn Jordy, go back to GB quick. Chucky is out of control.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Caught 63 balls last year. Still a good route runner. Id be willing to being him in as a #3. Big slot and can still play outside.

Your not getting vintage Nelson, but I think he has some left in the tank

 

[Hardline]

I thought they would want to pair him up with Antonio Brown.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I don't think he's got much left, but if he's willing to play for the vet minimum with few guarantees, I guess the Cowboys could kick the tires here.

They signed ex-Charger Tyrell Williams to do that. Pretty good player and a lot younger than Nelson.

He had 63 catches in 2018.

He had the most catches in weeks 11, 14 and 15.

progress stopper. not interested in an aging veteran that's a step slower

Are we going to count on Austin staying healthy and effective? Are we going to lose games if Wilson or Brown prove to be ineffective #3's. Nelson isnt near his prime, but is still a very effective player.

"Progress stopper" is someone you avoid if you are a losing team trying to develope as much young talent as you can. You dont worry about progress stoppers if you are a winning team trying to take the next step

And Derek Carr was his QB.

I'm torn there. I agree but I am not exactly sure whose progress he'd stop right now. Austin is unreliable, Hurns is OK, we lost Beasley... Nelson is a guy Dak could rely on to be in the proper spots at least. I hated when we had to play against him so he has my respect...It's all about $$ too..

Cooper, Gallop, Austin, Brown,Wilson(promising draft pick),Hurns(our aging vet)....there's your six ...Where is a 34 aging Nelson fitting....enough with the aging veteran receivers.....

Cooper...given
Gallup...given
Austin...6-7 games if we're lucky?
Brown...blech
Wilson...that's the wildcard for me.
Hurns...solid vet, but will he return OK?

I agree overall on the aging vet's though but I feel Nelson would still cause Defenses issues.

Exactly, bigtime experience with a roster full of young/little experienced receivers

Easy, cut Hurns. He was terrible, and when is ge even going to be ready? Let Brown and Wilson fight for snaps. Neither one of them have proven they can contribute anything outside of a small niche. Austin miss a chunk of time last year, and frankly isnt much of a receiver. Im not at all optimistic about going into the season with what we have behind Cooper and Gallup. We need bankable talent. Nelson is still a very effective WR

We arent a 5 win team that needs to avoid progess stoppers in order to develop talent. If you are coming off a playoff year, the term "progress stopper" shouldnt even be in our vocabulary

Didn't they just pick up Hurns option, so he's here next year
