We have no one on the team who can be relied upon to go up and catch jump balls. We lost the division on a play the Dez routinely makes. We’ve seen Dez go up and catch a Hail Mary like the ones we needed in Minnesota & New Orleans. We were force-feeding red zone targets to Witten who’s basically a stationary target. All Dez has to be is a consistent red zone threat to have a valuable role on this team, and that’s exactly the role he’s asking for. And with the injuries that Cooper & Gallup keep battling, there’s opportunity to move up. And when they’re all healthy, there’s no reason why you can’t get Cooper, Gallup & Dez all on the field at the same time.
-His teammates still love him
-He’s an insurance policy
-He’s the jump ball WR we currently don’t have
-Dak has progressed enough to utilize him properly
-He’ll sign for the vet minimum
It makes a lot of sense.
