now dak can get back to throwing to the open man and not having to force the ball to dez so the coaches can be happy.

With all the pro' and cons flying back and forth about this, your point is a definite plus. I would think that Dez being in Dak's ear all game long would be a distraction, and quite possibly influence Dak to do just what you said.....force the ball to Dez.

These last couple of years, almost every team we faced had an answer for Dez: They would play him physical and he would be a non-factor. This past year, Beasely garnered more attention from defenses than Dez. Dak is not a "throw up a prayer" and hope it's caught QB like Tony was and Dez is no longer a "prayer catcher" like he once was. I actually thought our offense was better when Dez was out with injury.
Add in the injuries starting to pile up and the mental case he seems to be and he just wasn't "the right kind of guy". Unless we find the second coming of Randy Moss or Julio Jones, or Jerry Rice, no receiver is worth 12 million dollars a year: They are but 1/11th of the offense.

The only thing I wish they did differently was to cut him sooner so Dez could have more options. He and Dak are not a good fit. If the front office believes in Dak then they need to get precise route runners that suit his skill set.

Dez will be better off with a more tenured QB that can read receivers and not just routes.

Again, pay elite players elite money. Elite players are players that can produce by themselves. There are plenty of WRs in NFL history who had bad QBs, yet were still top notch WRs.

I sure wish I knew the true story about whether or not Dez would have taken a pay cut. Did our FO & Dez agent talk about it at all? If the decision to cut Dez was so definite, no salary discussions at all, why wasn't the move made sooner? There's a lot of comments made about dropped passes & fumbles, maybe those should be directed at our FO, this could have been handled so much better but was not.

Your delusional to believe there is a championship coming any time soon with Garrett as coach.

But that IS what these Cowboy Fans deserve

First, a pet peeve of mine... it's "You're" not "Your". JG is not the problem with this team. We can agree to disagree on that point. I believe we are headed in the right direction and cutting Dez is just proof to me that they are committed to getting better. Disagree with me but DO NOT call me delusional. You disrespect me when you do that.

It’s a huge mistake when you cut your best receiver and replace them with two receivers who didn’t even combine for 1000 yards last season.

Dez stated that he WOULD'VE accepted a pay cut, but the Cowboys didn't want that.
Whether he was telling the truth I don't know, but I saw him state that in one of those youtube interviews.

Easy to say that after the fact. I believe he also said something earlier in the off season about not wanting to be disrespected. Translation: "I'm not taking a pay cut."
