Interesting tidbits in there by JJT. And I thought he tweeted that Dez would be back?

And here's Florios take.

Wouldn't bother me one bit actually. He can be a huge distraction on the sideline and quite frankly I think the front office has had enough of his tantrums. He could even be considered a progress stopper at this junction of his career.

His best days were with Romo under center and lower leg injuries have robbed him of any explosiveness he once had.

Time to move on...

 

[Dylan88Wilson]

Hurns will supplant Terrance Williams and Thompson replaces Butler. I don’t see how that signifies they’re moving on from Dez.

 

[SDCowboy]

I'm fine either way. If he stays another season, fine. If the team feels it's time to move on, also fine.

 

[Killerinstinct]

I only move on from him if someone wants to trade for him. I think Dez still has value even if it has diminished over the last few years.

 

[glimmerman]

Hurns and T-Will would be a bigger problem than Dez and T-Will.

 

[cowboyec]

they are prepping for life w/out Dez.....but it wont be this season.
I think they cut bait next yr.

If we draft a WR at #1, perhaps even #2, it's likely Dez Bryant has thrown his last tantrum as a Dallas Cowboys.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

If so, we better draft a WR in the first or second.

 

[Aven8]

JJT has a lot of inside info in that building. Looking more and more like he's gone. Would be nice to just get a 6th for him. I would still love to try and trade Beas to NE.

Agreed. Next year the finances make more sense.

Thompson and Hurns are depth signings and slight upgrades— but they mainly give us flexibility in the draft and keep us from forcing a WR selection in the first two rounds.

Now we can let the draft come to us a but more easily.

Even more likely is that they're waiting til June 1st, when they'll save more on the cap.

 

[Bowdown27]

I doubt this honestly. Especially because it’s JJT

No, after June 1st the finances make a lot more sense.

In what world is any of the FA receivers we signed better than Dez??? smdh

 

[cowboyec]

very true.
but I'll believe it when I see it.....(if it happens this yr).

JJT makes up a lot of BS on info, or lack there of, inside his own head. Not calling him a S head...well, actually I am.

 

[BlindFaith]

What I found interesting was that Dez skipped treatment. There were also reports of him being late to meetings.

That, and that we basically had the same offer on the table for Watkins. I figured we weren't that close. Sooo glad he didn't pick us. Hurns is a much better deal, IMO.

Clearly if they HAD signed Watkins, Dez would be gone. Question now is, do they see Hurns as being as good as Watkins, or close enough.

Getting Thompson gives us more speed than Sammy. Hurns a better route runner. Do the two together give them what they thought they could get from Watkins?

I think they do.

 

[atlantacowboy]

I think we will know more about the Cowboys future plans for Dez after the draft. Hurns threatens TW more than Dez. We still don't have a legit #1 WR, if not Dez.
