JJT is a hack with no insight into the team and florio isn’t far behind. This is them pulling stuff out of their *** and putting it on paper. Dez isn’t going anywhere this season.
Edit: also find it funny JJT taking about dez not being a professional. Pot calling the kettle black JJT. Most unprofessional beat writer ever.
I knew Twill was not the brightest, but dam, this has to be one for the record books
At this point Dez is physically at the level of Hurns or below.
Hurns is known to be much more intelligent and coachable.
The contract changes the value of players in regards to a trade.
If a team wanted to spend 12.5M on a WR, they would have signed a free agent.
Difference is I don’t get paid for it and mine isn’t broadcast as “news”. If this is journalism nowadays then pay me too. I’ll gladly pull stuff outta my *** and call it insider news.Isn't the bolded you doing the same thing?!!!!
Still, I'd like to get something out of it lol. I think there are teams like the Chargers who might actually take on that contract.
Its pretty obvious that the team is not going to keep Dez at his current salary for the 2018 season.
I think Dez will be offered the chance to stay with a significant paycut. If he refuses, then they will release him.
One of the most common fan emotions in the off-season every year is too over-rate their team's players in regards to trades.
Good discussion.
Dez may not be cut because it's cost prohibitive but that doesn't mean he will continue to be the 1WR.
You are a good poster and I respect your opinion so don't take my disagreement the wrong way, but...
One of the most common fan emotions in the off-season every year is too over-rate their team's players in regards to trades. It occasionally happens that some teams gives up more than anybody would have expected for a player, but it's rare in the modern era where teams are much more calculated in the moves that make.
If they wanted to keep him on the roster and wait into training camp, then I could see a trade being possible. Every year teams have players that get injured in the pre-season and they over-pay in a trade. The Vikings did it in September of 2016 when they gave up a 1st for Sam Bradford; however, teams do really wacky things when QBs are involved.
The issue with waiting is that if they are going to move on from Dez, Jerry would want to give Dez the opportunity to depart before the pre-season. They've released other veterans that probably could have netted a late round pick if they had waited but as a sign of respect Jerry would just let them move on. They made Scandrick a designated-June-1st cut which means that they get ZERO cap benefit before June 1st for cutting him. It's possible they could have gotten a late round pick for him if they waited past the draft because unlike Dez, his contract made him more valuable because it was lower than what he ended up getting after they released him.
Good discussion.
So much for our love of the volatile, drama queen Dez.I'm fine either way. If he stays another season, fine. If the team feels it's time to move on, also fine.
Dez would love your respect.In what world is any of the FA receivers we signed better than Dez??? smdh
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.
You have to throw in the wwwwwaaaaahhhhhh factorHurns will supplant Terrance Williams and Thompson replaces Butler. I don’t see how that signifies they’re moving on from Dez.
JJT is plugged in but the news shouldn’t surprise anyone. Dez and Hurns are the same player - same build, same routes, except Hurns is 5 years younger.
I know that it’s impossible, but I’d like to see them trade Dez. Whatever they can get is bonus. The last thing we want is to see him show up in our division.
