Twitter: Cowboys were interested in WR Watkins

[Alexander]

Which he's not worth either.

Give me Donte Moncrief if the Ravens don't overpay for him.

Keep waiting for that "right price".

Just be prepared for what it buys you.

 

[Stash]

Man. I hadn’t even seen the Hitchens news yet. $9MM AAV. Ouch.

I know. Crazy!

 

[Stash]

Keep waiting for that "right price".

Just be prepared for what it buys you.

And keep criticizing them when they don't overpay. They can't win with you no matter what they do.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

You have a quote on that?

Sent you a PM

Then get prepared for what he will cost.

He will get Albert Wilson money at the very least, 3 years $24M.

I'm ok with that....of course it's not my money. But I think he would bring a dynamic that can make us a deep threat.

 

[Risen Star]

It is no reason to applaud them.

It is like commending someone for their restraint for when they walk into a Mercedes show room penniless and leave after admiring the vehicles.

Well then they made the right decision not to buy.

Go Cowboys.

You think they would of added a guy like Watkins with Dez?
I took the paycut talk as an advantage had we signed a guy like Watkins to a more reasonable deal and then told Dez to take a pay cut or get cut.

But now missing out on Watkins, and seeing what he got, I doubt we hold any advantage/bluff about a paycut or get cut move.

Do you believe Dez’s agent didn’t know what the market was going to be? That’s their job - Dallas never had any leverage.

 

[Dorsett33]

Like him at $7 million-plus a year?

I don't.

I can do 3yr 21mil and make 10mil guaranteed. I can live with that

Despite career numbers like this:

Thanks, but $7 million for that level of receiver is insane.

I cannot, not for this mediocre level of proven production:

Yeah, I’m glad we didn’t pay that.

 

[birdwells1]

That may have been at one time...now the negative FAR outweighs that. Not even close now.

Forum has many more bitter old women at the nursing home compared to happy fans in a rainbow room.

Philly has happy fans in a rainbow room, i wonder why?

Philly has cowboys fans in the rainbow room as well...I wonder why?

Ok. But...no one knows what he's going to sign for. I think his ceiling is pretty high. And we need a deep threat. We want a dynamic....we have to pay for one. Is is a superstar? No. But 3yr 21mil...10mil guaranteed is not superstar money at the WR position.

 

[Risen Star]

 

[Risen Star]

So Watkins was going to replace Dez.

Considering what Albert Freaking Wilson just got, I have no clue anymore. yeesh

I've read reports that Seattle has offered $5 million a year but that Richardson is looking for $7 million.

I'd rather look at Moncrief, who has put up better overall numbers and also offers the deep threat. He should come at a lower price tag.

 

[theebs]

so if this is true and they now have publicly tried to find a dez replacement I dont think this will go over well with dez bryant.

They are literally trying to replace him. He does not have the ability to handle that I dont think.

Honestly think the same. I am not opposed to Terrelle Pryor because he would be super cheap and may provide something.

I thought he was GREAT with the browns- and I really mean that. Not sure why last year was so terrible for him but it sure seems like he has a top notch work ethic
