Cowboys to Resign B Butler today

Cowboys To Sign WR Brice Butler
September 17th, 2018 at 9:19am CST by Dallas Robinson


The Cowboys are expected to reunite with wide receiver Brice Butler today, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic was the first to report (Twitter link). Head coach Jason Garrett said Monday morning that Butler will part of a workout session in Dallas today, but that audition appears to be a formality, tweets Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News
.

Butler, 28, began his career with the Raiders but spent the 2014-17 seasons with the Cowboys. He was never a focal point of the club’s offense, as he averaged just 16 receptions, 269 yards, and two touchdowns during those four campaigns, but he offers familiarity with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan‘s scheme. Butler inked a two-year deal with the Cardinals this offseason but failed to make it through final cutdowns.

Dallas currently fields one of the league’s worst receiving units, as its depth chart is filled with complementary options such as Cole Beasley, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, Terrance Williams, Deonte Thompson, and rookie Michael Gallup. Through two games, Beasley leads the club in receptions (nine) and yards (86), while Austin is the only Cowboys receiver to catch a touchdown pass

Kinda shows you that Stephen Jones doesnt know what hes doing

Also that Butler probably thinks more of his abilities than the other 31 teams in the league.

Ya that too..lol

 

[JD_KaPow]

Who gets cut? Hurns? Williams? Do they keep 7 WR?

The article says all our WRs are "complementary pieces" but apparently the answer is Brice Butler, who has never learned more than one route and who was just cut by the Cardinals.

Sure, why not.

 

[Silver N Blue]

woo hoo let's bring a guy back who trashed the organization after he left...brilliant

 

[Sydla]

Guess that means no Gordon.

Stupid front office.

 

[Flamma]

I'll tell you who gets cut. Cut from the conversation is Josh Gordon. Someone needs to keep the lid on the dumpster closed.

Stupid front office.

Gordon is getting traded today for actual compensation.

The Cowboys would be wise to open the dumpster and pick Gordon out of it.

 

[Sydla]

Gordon is getting traded today for actual compensation.

And we should be paying that compensation (well within reason. I wouldn't give up a 2nd rounder for him).

 

[links18]

Dak had some connection with Butler on deep balls. Maybe this helps, but we still won't have anyone that scares other teams' defenses away from stacking the box.

Gordon looks like he's going to be suspended again. He showed up high as a kite to practice the other day.

 

[lonestar2288]

Uhhh, and who says Butler is more than a complimentary WR himself???

 

[Sydla]

Gordon looks like he's going to be suspended again. He showed up high as a kite to practice the other day.

That was a rumor and no one confirmed it. In fact, it's been reported that he showed up ready to travel with the team on Saturday but it was discovered that he had hurt his hamstring at a promotional event for his own clothing line.

Welp ... Some want Dez back so... What's the difference?

 

[Cydios]

I always like Brice. He may be a bit of a show boat, but he was fast.

 

[Aviano90]

Dude wouldn't be so bad if he didn't drop 17% of his catchable targets.

I'm beginning to warm up to this. Perhaps they cut one of those jag TEs (not named Rico) to accommodate. He and Dak had good rapport and he knows the system. Should slide right back in and give us yet another deep threat.
