Regardless how they spend the money, they had more problems with Dez than they thought he was worth. They could've offered to cut his salary but even if Dez had agreed, he still would've been unhappy and it would've further affected his game which was already declining.
Another thing I think was a factor, they had said they were going to make the offense more Dak friendly. Dez never matched up with Dak like he did with the gun slinger, but he was still always in Dak's face wanting the ball. Dak will be better off without him. Especially if they get a WR that can run routes.
And Dez did have an attitude problem. Michael Irvin attested to it. He was fighting with Garrett and Dez's so-called Garrett guys. Dez even admitted that much. He pretty much brought this on himself. It was a combination of things and together they added up to more than the Cowboys wanted to deal with, and I can't say I blame them.
This is it right here. He was a hinderence.
It's just like playing a pickup game of street basketball. There's always that brash talented player. Whose jawing so much and battling and going hard, spaced out in isolation, going at the other man one on one. Sometimes they get so caught up they forget to pass. If your on his team you stop hustling because he won' pass it.
You find yourself just watching .
They are so focused and driven (with a profound amount of anger that clouds thier judgement, they feed off the anger, its toxic) so now not only watching. You have to listen to his obnoxious mouth
We've all been there
The whole game is about him. That's what and who Dez is. Emotional to a fault. The player is so good and you can't deny his talent, but you would rather not be on his team in fact you wish he was on another team. If the king of productive emotional drive (Irvin) attests to it , then your emotions are of the toxic variety
That's what this whole Dez situation is about. They wanted him on another team.
I accept that I understand that. I am 100% certain it is time to move on. The Future is wide open.
But just don't tell me that man can't still ball out. He is still talented and has alot of football left. Who knows maybe this will humble him in some way. The Cowboys organization and Dez are going in seperate directions. But I am sure there will be success for all.
Is it going to sting watching Dez's highlights this year? Of course it will. But there won' be any regrets because Dak will come into his own. And I believe his progression will be multiplied by not having Dez around. It's called piece of mind. ( have you ever read Shakesphere while listening to the Ting Yang twins? It' kinda hard to focus and concentrate)
