Twitter: Cowboys inquired on Jeremy Maclin

[RustyBourneHorse]

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

Oh, no doubt. In fact, I'd structure the contract so that he has to earn his way on the team. If he makes it, great. Then we have a lot of quality WRs.

I'm sure that's not the kind of contract Maclin is looking for, and I suspect he won't be forced to accept it. He just may not get the dollar amount he wants.

Oh, I agree. He won't like it, but it may be what he has to get. I think he'd battle it out with Thompson here.

Without a true number one there is no pressure to give a specific guy a lot of looks. Which is good for a maturing young qb. He doesn't lock in on one guy. That said it can't just be a bunch of JAGs either. Our Qb ain't Tom Brady.

The only thing this tells me really is that the front office REALLY REALLY was not happy with our WR Corp last year. I am almost expecting a full house cleaning at the position from things that have transpired.

I don't think adds anything new. I think they were looking for another receiver, kicked a few tires, Hurns was what they came up with, and any thought about Maclin died at that point.

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

Oh no not Float on " My name is LARRY". LOL
Had the 8 track for the old school guys. Favorite song was " Everything happens for a reason ".

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.

Not at all.

They were likely looking at a bunch of options. That's what teams do.

 

[jobberone]

If a receiver falls to us we'll look.

 

[OmerV]

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

I didn't read anything that suggested they offered Maclin anything. All it said was there was a preliminary inquiry by the Eagles and Cowboys, but no indication it went beyond that.

 

[Sydla]

If they cut Dez, then the organization must be thinking they will/have created an offense around Dak that doesn't need that dominant WR.

Because no one they have and likely no one they draft will be that type of guy.

 

[OmerV]

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.

Unfortunately the report isn't very clear on that. I believe it is telling us that the Eagles and Cowboys made preliminary inquiries, but then ended up signing someone else afterward, but the wording leaves room for uncertainty.

If they made preliminary inquiries before Hurns that's one thing. If they made them last week or recently, that's another. Yes, you're right, leaves lots of room for assumptions and just adds fuel to an already hot fire. The media loves that *****

 

[Sarge]

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.

Dez is gone. Not sure why people can't see it.

Lol, Larry's pickup lines wouldnt net him much of nothing with today's generation of women lol.

The Fort Worth Star Telegram reported that the inquiry took place before the Cowboys signed Hurns, so unless some other story pops up there is no reason to believe they are looking at him now.

See my post above - the Fort Worth Start Telegram says it was before signing Hurns.

Then it's the same amount of fuel on the fire. Thanks Omer

What? I just read a thread that said "the Cowboys are kissing Dez's butt" oh wait i guess there was a "goodbye" after butt . Poor Dezzie, hope he doesn't read this *****

 

[Floatyworm]

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

Or maybe he just sucks...
