News: Cowboys Options at Receiver are Wide Open

[sbark]

Laraunt Robinson could've still been here, and having a nice career..........

I don't have a problem re-signing Williams because we've seen that our offense can be good enough to win 12 games in 2014 and 13 games in 2016 with him as the No. 2 receiver. However, he can be upgraded and it would make our offense even tougher to stop.

Would love to get Terrelle Pryor, but he's probably out of our price range. However, someone like Robert Woods would provide an upgrade without breaking the bank.

The reason that body-catching bothers so many, including myself, is that it's a ticking-timebomb. Having a limited catch radius and body-catching technique will eventually rear its ugly head, and as Cowboys luck would have it, of course he did it in the playoffs, when it counts most.

Jackie Smith is a Hall of Fame TE but most know him as the guy who dropped a pass in the Super Bowl (bounced off his pads while trying to body-catch by the way). You can downplay it as "1 dropped pass," but again, Williams' drop is all about the timing.

I never disliked TWill, but I despised his technique. If he signs elsewhere, he'll eventually be known as an OK receiver for us — certainly not worth some fans getting all up in arms to defend.

Williams has some of the best catches on the team......clutch catches......with his hands.

Who cares how he catches as long as he catches it.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

When a team goes 13-3 all their FAs cost too much. TWill will get ~34 over 4 years. You decide if that's too much. That's the going rate for a vet established #2, maybe now with the cap space around the league.

In sure that's the only reason Williams will get paid. Maybe it's because he has skills and the people making the decision don't hate and have an agenda

We could have resigned Laurent if we wanted to before he 2013 season, he was a free agent. However, he was 1 concussion away from hanging it up no matter where he signed (though no one did). I would have loved for him to resign with the team, but who knows how long he would have continued playing.

It was multiple concussions that ended his career, not his choice of teams to sign with in 2012.

Cole Beasley 75- 833 - 11.1- 47 5
Jason Witten 69 - 673- 9.8- 35 3
Dez Bryant 50 - 796 -15.9 - 56 8
Terrance Williams 44- 594 -13.5 - 47 4
Ezekiel Elliott 32 - 363 - 11.3- 83 1
Brice Butler 16 - 219 -13.7- 41 3

Cole earned his money in 2016,finished # 1 I didnt think he would ever do that good.
Jason who many say is too old etc finished 2nd
Then Dez the 70 million dollar man missed some games , but managed to out do TW for 3rd.

Then TW hmmm well he beat elliot and butler, but finished 4th , and really as the "# 2" should have done what cole did, finish first
with dez missing a few games.
or at least finish # 2 ?

TW has some great plays, some bad plays, same for games, but overall he is pretty avg.
So should they pay the avg guy to keep being # 2 who winds up 4th in catches??

Cole Beasley had more catches and yards then Dez guess we should pay Beasley number 1 money

Cole Beasley had more catches and yards then Dez guess we should pay Beasley number 1 money

for 2016 they should give him dez's salary, and Dez coles salary.
But that isnt how it works, all I said was cole earned his money, and dez didnt do as well as a # 1 should.
He hasnt earned it since he got paid. maybe he will in 2017.

Dez did make some key catches that helped win games, so that counts for more than just his stats.

TW did ok for what he was making, but to pay him more is debatable.
Witten was ok since he was asked to do more blocking than route running this last season.

he should have stayed here, he got a bad concussion on jags team, then came back too soon and got another one.
They were paying him the bigger bucks, so probably forced him back too soon.

Most players come back too soon IMO.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I like twill but not sure I like him for at least 8-10 mil a year.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Who cares how he catches as long as he catches it.

He's the reason Dallas beat Seattle in 14

 

[KingintheNorth]

If we had the cap room, I'd want Terrell Pryor. I think he is scratching the surface on how good a WR he's going to be. Special athlete.

Beasley wasn't good enough to make Dez money that's crazy talk

You think Pryor will be more than twill? I doubt it.

 

[LocimusPrime]

We already spend enough on the offensive side of the ball. Best option would be to get a 3-4 million dollar receiver or draft one. Use the money to upgrade the defense.

 

[DandyDon52]

I wasnt serious, but neither was Dez.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I do. That's not a knock on TWill as much as it is praise for Pryor.

 

[Sydla]

Pryor will absolutely get more than Williams. Pryor is viewed as a potential #1 guy as he continues to learn to play the WR position.

I have no issues with Williams but he's likely going to get overpaid for what he is.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Pryor is likely to be re-signed or franchise tagged by Cleveland anyway.

 

[Sydla]

Pryor is likely to be re-signed or franchise tagged by Cleveland anyway.

And if he hits free agency, there will be some bidders for him. Philly is said to have him and Jeffrey as big targets if both or either make it to FA.

 

[NEODOG]

Dede Westbrook would be nice....
