Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign WR Parris Campbell

[MC88]

He oft injured trash.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Diggs tore his knee in October. There is little doubt that he wont be ready to open the season

He tore his ACL in week 8 at 31 and you think he's gonna be ready to open the season ? I don't know about that one. Typically those injuries that player isn't even the same once he comes back it takes time for them to get back to game speed.

 

[jazzcat22]

It is when you’re making these signings in the first week of FA

Then selectively stupid.
But still need to fill the roster.

 

[Stash]

I guess we’re going to find out just his good receivers coach Junior Adams is.

Campbell brings a lot in terms of physical ability, but he’s never been able to put it together in the NFL.

Uhoh, Mingo better look out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes

Mingo, Brooks, Tolbert all may have some competition for that last spot.

Right now, Lamb only safe WR for his roster spot. And probably Flournoy since it will be his 2nd year.
Turpin safe as well.

They usually keep 6 WR's, but have kept 7 before. If they draft a WR, which the will, then there will be 5 WR's competing for 3 to 4 spots.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yes

Well…..why aren’t the Texans bringing him back? They traded for Kirk…

I find it interesting that Campbell has like 98th percentile speed but has a career YPC of ~9 yards.

 

[Jarntt]

Odd signing at this point because we are chock full of WR4-6 type players (I view Turpin as a weapon but more a #4 because of his unique skill set than a #3 that plays almost the entire game). It's starter level players we need. Hopefully no guaranteed money and cuttable. I don't think he plays special teams which makes him not very useful to us at all. If we draft a guy like McMillan at 12 our WR room goes from CeeDee and a bunch of backups to very very strong. But if we only draft a late round guy or bring in a few UDFAs these older guys who are already proven to not be worth much will just take those valuable camp snaps away from them. Just odd.

I’ve looked at some of his highlights, and for whatever reasons, most of them were jet sweeps, screens, and short yardage plays designed to quickly get him the football in space.

The only downfield throws to him I saw were from Matt Ryan in Indianapolis.

It certainly seemed odd to me given his speed.

And that really stood out to me in his highlights. If he’s even, he’s leavin’.

His college highlights made the other players look like they were running in cement.

Not so much at the pro level.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

So is the plan to just sign as many bums as possible that will barely make the team or be cut before the season?

The front office is probably popping bottles of Johnny Walker Blue today.

He played special teams quite a bit in college, but not much at the NFL level for some reason.

 

[Proof]

More slop.

There's real WRs out there and we do this.

seriously. whats even the point of this move? we already have bodies.

 

[jazzcat22]

He oft injured trash.

A change of venue may be all he needs.

He may be an example of a receiver that has elite speed but can’t get off press. That said, I haven't watched him much since he was drafted.

Most of them will make the team. They all are not bums.

 

[thunderpimp91]

He doesn't move the needle for the real life Cowboys in 2025, but man the Madden version is going to be easy to play with this year. Just put Campbell and Turpin outside running vertical routes with Lamb in the slot to feast on the underneath stuff.

I think we’re giving our new receivers coach some clay to mold (or not).

Its the ‘throw all your underwear at the wall and see if anything sticks” strategy.
