Signed by Cowboys Brice Butler re-signs with the Cowboys

[SDCowboy]

Why should the 2nd wr by default be more appetizing than the slot receiver or the right end? Is it because of the 2 in the name?

How about this then for our hierarchy.

Outside WR1 > TE1 > Slot WR1 > RB1 > Outside WR2

To each their own. I expect the #2 WR to be better than a 4th or 5th option. If the RB is more appealing to throw to than the #2 WR, that's not a good sign about the WR corps, IMO.

Are you implying Williams was demanding double teams or something like that?

Nope. Just noting Williams was the No. 1 guy when Dez went down.

Seems like everyone wants pro bowler's across the team.

If we don't sign another WR in addition I will be expecting a draft pick in the early rounds. Dez is hurt far too often to place that much weight on Butler. I dont dislike re signing him though. Its just kind of meh. I suppose its good to have somebody that supposedly knows the offense.

Give me Dede Westbrook....could even be had on day 2 of the draft.

I like Chris Goodwin from Penn St as well

Honestly, some people here are down on him, I think opposite Dez he can have a good year. He made some big catches for us this season.

he's a solid 3 or 4 overall. not happy nor unhappy to hear this. just ... um...cool.

 

[Lutonio]

I'm okay with this. He and Dak showed some surprising flashes of rapport on deep shots, so another year could be even better.

 

[TonyS]

Butler is OK as WR4.

I suspect we draft a WR somewhere in the first 3 rounds.

Are there any superstar WRs who have questionable judgment about controlled substances or are coming back from potentially career-ending college injuries? If so, we'll pick one of them up in Rd 2.

i would love to get a speedster wr. Like odell. Can catch and great run after the catch ability (good route runner).

Would be nice to sign another guy that most seem to think is just a Meh guy and they turn out to have the type of production Laurent Robinson had for us a few year ago.

Keep looking down the WR draft list to you come to this guy from Mississippi State who Dak threw to for a couple of years.
The Cowboys have already had discussions with him I hear. Just saying there may be some smoke there.

Looks like Twill is definitely outta here.

Dreams do come true!

Our entire D choked in the playoffs. Sure lets all blame butler lol

Well, this is a thread about Butler. When someone issues a thread about our defense, I'll blame them like I've done before.

Context is our friend.

 

[Killerinstinct]

When do we find out how much we are paying our big singing?

 

[mattjames2010]

200 yards a season type of guy. Meh.

 

[JohnsKey19]

For 1 year as the 4th WR, fine.

 

[jobberone]

Didn't read the entire post but I understand terms to the contract have yet to be disclosed. It appears it's a one year. For a WR with his speed and size at 6-3 213 I like the signing. I expected this as it puts some pressure on Williams as well as an insurance policy for a 2/3 WR. I see him RIGHT NOW as a 2/3 leaning towards a 3.

I fully expect a WR to be signed R1-4 to compete at the 1-3 WR position. Butler should grow some this year as a WR. I expect him to be a 20-40 catch type of guy.

I just hate Butler because he has a room temperature IQ. Harder to root for a guy that has all the physical skills but is dumber than **** and doesn't go up to challenge balls than it is for another similar player with lesser tools but better intangibles.

 

[Aven8]

Dumb player.....
