News: Dez possibly tore his Achilles

[Bleu Star]

Too soon?

 

[Avery]

Love me some Dez, but this is curtains for him.

 

[Jipper]

this is unfortunate but is what happens when you have the level of intensity Dez has but don't have your body prepared. I know he was training but there is football and there is training, since his game is based on explosive plays, i am guessing he tried to do something and his body just said no....feel bad for the guy

 

[Aikmaniac]

Sad in a couple ways.

Sad for Dez as he obviously kept in shape and driven for this opportunity.

Sad for those in this thread who joke about an injured player.

I also read I believe on the NFL website that the Saints were wanting him to lose some weight, so he may be a little out of shape which may have been a contributing factor....out of shape, a year away from football, wrong side of 30, he's most likely done............maybe he should have spent more time in the gym and less time on Twitter.

Does he retire a saint or cowboy? Will the saints get a comp pick?

 

[lwehlers]

that really sucks for him I was looking forward to seeing help the saints.

 

[Chuck 54]

Sorry for him, and it can happen to anyone, but I have to wonder if practice was the first time he pushed himself this offseason.

And....career doesn’t have to be over. He could walk in next year and be the best receiving TE on our team. He’s already more physical than some receiving TEs, like Engram in NY.

Too soon?

Daaaang! Lol

A comp pick? You don’t get those because guys get injured. If anything, they lose in the comp positioning for signing a guy who isn’t going to play.

 

[tyke1doe]

I wonder how much his inactivity played in his injury. And I was really looking forward to seeing him play.

 

[Blake]

We might have a shot vs Saints now.

haha. no. They're 7-1 before dez.

 

[Bleu Star]

Quite honestly, I was not looking forward to facing the Saints (with the addition of Dez to that roster)...

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Feel bad for the guy. Diva or not... You could tell the guy truly loved playing the game and he may never be able to play again.

 

[Dre11]

Damn.

 

[Flamma]

Crap! That takes all the fun out of the Saints game.

 

[CF74]

Sad....

 

[ShortRound]

He's being positive:

Humbling year I'm sure. Wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[stiletto]

Well, least was just a Cowboy on the field...only good thing about all this. (I think). I feel bad for him and I hope he has saved some of his earnings. Not sure he has a future in TV or anything but definitely has a personality to do something else.
