This, according to DeMarcus Ware.
"They're going to go - they already went to Dez and said we're not going to pay you 12.5, can you do something for us to help out the team? If you say no, I'm not going to take a pay cut - guess what, you're not going to be with the Dallas Cowboys.”
There were some on this board that doubted whether this conversation would happen. It apparently already has.
Personally, I’d rather cut him then have him at a reduced salary. Dez’s better years are behind him.
He’s not capable of carrying the #1 WR mantle at this point in his career. He’s top 5 in the league in drops, which are drive killers, and he handles the ball carelessly. They’re covering him 1 on 1 now, he doesn’t have the speed to scare anyone and is unreliable as a red zone threat.
Wide receiver will be a major priority this off season.
