Twitter: Cowboys inquired on Jeremy Maclin

[Verdict]

Maclin is done....

Yeah so they fact that they are talking to Jim should tell you guys what they think about Dez.

No one wants Jim either.

If we take one in the first round and cut Dez, then we're spinning our wheels IMO. If you mean taking one sometime after that round to complement Dez and be groomed as a possible replacement, I'm OK with it, although I think we have more needful positions to address with our first three picks.

I had no round in particular in mind, although I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys took one within the first three rounds. I'm confident that they'll pick a promising WR at some point, though. They have shown plenty of interest in them lately, so there's that to consider, like it or not.

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.

But we need a X.

 

[jobberone]

Not much left.

The Cowboys have that already.

But, we're paying one of those "not a true #1" an elite #1 salary.

You are clueless. Let the Dez loveboat sail on.

Issac is this you? Lol had to get the love boat in there.

Had to choose between sail on and "float on" lol!

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.

Sounds familiar.

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)

yeah Maclin is done.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Sounds familiar.

How long has flacco been in the league?

Nice attempt though!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

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

Agree......Dak was at his best when didn't worry about forced feeding 2016

 

[OmerV]

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.

It says it the two teams that had preliminary inquires (Dallas & Philly) have already signed other receivers, so looking at Maclin was probably more a Hurns level thing they were looking at, and passed on, not something they are still looking at.

I suppose that's possible. I don't buy that he's done or too old though yet. He's only going to be 30 when he enters the season. If he's willing to take a relatively cheap/low cost deal, then I'd be happy to take him here.

I just don't think the team will cut Dez to sign him, and I don't think they will sign him as another receiver on top of Dez, Hurns, Beasly, Williams etc

 

[Alexander]

Between this and the attempted Watkins signing, it frightens me how they evaluate the position.

 

[John813]

Wonder if they looked into him before signing Thompson as well.

We don't know they did anything more than kick tires on this.

 

[mugsybows]

Watkins first and now maclin. Starting to think our front office is a terrible judge of talent on WR end.

 

[northerncowboynation]

Preliminary inquiries? What does that mean? It says nothing of "when" the preliminary inquiries happened. Last year, last month, last week? The timing of the inquiry determines the significance.
