I guess his injury history as scared people off? Or his price range

 

[Corso]

Aye yai yai...

You are ignoring the elephant in the room.

IF this is true, they want Dez gone. No ifs ands, or buts.
Unless they get him super cheap, then it's all leverage, which... still has to do with that dang elephant.

I guess im missing something

 

[Jipper]

I think they are trying to build a wr Corp like the patriots....good all around but not a true number 1...

Maclin is gonna force Bryant to hit the road jack. Cause signing Maclin would warrant that for some odd reason.

We are technically a run-n-gun type of offense.

Maybe we don't really want to pay #1 receiver money so we'll have a lot of solid 2's. You're probably right.

I'd be good with that....no pressure on dez to throw to anyone particular....migjt make a huge difference

They're not going to sign him now. I'd imagine the "preliminary inquires" were at, or before, the start of free agency.

Or his decline the last two seasons with different teams:

24 games (missed 8 games)
84 catches
less than 1,000 yards total (in a season and a half worth of games)
lowest average per reception of his career
5 TDs (in 24 games)

Gotcha.

The Cowboys have that already.

That's actually what the eagles did last year. Dak friendly probably also means NOT having a star wr that dak will put too much stress on getting the ball to.

I like this approach if they plan on letting Dez go. That way dak can concentrate on spreading the ball around and the offense runs much smoother.

This team doesn't need a #1 WR.

That better than the 6 #3 WRs they had in 2017...

So Dak is not allowed to have a favorite target? Unless #1 is based on pay then my point is irrelevant but Dak won’t spread the ball evenly like everyone thinks he will do if we just sign a bunch of ****** WR’s.

If they offered $16MM to Watkins as reported....then ...no

Coming from a fantasy football nut myself, I can tell you with certainty that the ravens sucked at getting the WR's the ball.

If Maclin was on a team with a better QB than flacco he would have definitly had a better season. Not only did Maclin suffer but Mike Wallace did too. As did campanaro and perriman.

They had a good squad, flacco just sucked. Maclin would be a good signing.

Right, this interest was mid-March before they signed Hurns & Thompson.
