DMN Jon Machota twitter observations... Dez $$ potential, DL depth

[WoodysGirl]

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota
Mo Claiborne: "I feel like I’m a totally different player from when I 1st started camp. I’m healthy...so I just got to try to keep that way"

Mo Claiborne: "They got Brandon and traded up to get me but we also got great players around us. ... It’s going to take everybody as one."

On Mike & Mike, @AdamSchefter said if Dez Bryant follows rules/stays out of trouble, his reward will be "a contract north of $100 million."

Lissemore on maybe more PT b/c of Ratliff injury: "Josh and I have prepared for this situation. Were ready to roll. Thats what we’re here 4"

Marcus Spears on NTs Sean Lissemore, Josh Brent: "You’ve got to have guys that are ready to step up and play and we definitely have that."

Dez would be the highest paid player on our team and receive a contract that is close to Calvin Johnsons?

We must be expecting him to go out this season and look top 3. That's scary talented when Fitzgerald and Johnson are still out there.

He has not went out and had 1,000 yards in a season yet. I wish the media would simmer down on stuff like this.

But what a WOW indication of what this team thinks his talent potential is if the report is true.

All the reports say Dez has been working his *** off. It's likely that he has a very good year. If so I'd have no problem with him getting a contract like that.

By the way, Dez is scary talented. He just has to get his mind right and by all reports, he is.

If Dez has a monster season (1300+/12+ TD) then so be it, he deserves a contract like that.

Exactly my thoughts, I think he'll do it though. I do believe he knows whats expected of him. Sometimes with Dez its like bad luck, Its not as if he seeks out trouble.

There's no way Dez gets over $100 million. Crazy talk.

It's tough to take this seriously when one of your proclamations was that Barry Church will be a career backup player.

One season at those numbers doesn't earn that contract in my mind...

that is what got them in trouble over the recent past... reward one year of production...

I don't think he's up for another contract until 3 years from now. He still has time to shine. It's not like it will happen next year.

He's under contract for this season and the next two after that. Who knows what he might do by the time his contract is up and what the going rate will be for top-notch wide receiver by then.

Read my signature buddy. Things change. Sorry to disappoint ya.

P.S. I don't recall saying that about Church, but I very well could have. It's kind of creeping me out that you remember, honestly.

Read the threads from today. Someone went back and showed a thread he made. In that thread you said exactly what I said you said.

What's creepy is how you go from one extreme to the next.

I honestly don't find that creepy at all actually. Good day, sir.

 

[Aven8]

If he goes for 14 games at 1560 and 16 Td's, then yes please. Plus you can dump Austin's contract.

I am very afraid of Dez with $$$.

If he has an INCREDIBLE season I would have no problem trading him for 2 1st rounder picks.

Yes, if he shows he can be a model citizen and top receiver for that long, he's going to deserve the going rate. But that's a lot of time for Dez to prove or disprove himself.

I listened to some of Schefter talking this morning. He's of the opinion that Dez has otherworldly talent and, if he kept his head on straight, would be in that Calvin Johnson class of receiver. Hence his eye-popping contract estimation.

 

[dogberry]

What percentage of $100 million contract does the agent get?

 

[CyberB0b]

Nope. Not after 1 year of production. WRs are a dime a dozen in this league.

i can see some of what hes talking about, Dez has commanded double coverage his rookie season isnt that correct? I just dont know if hes as good as Hakim Nicks, but if Dez can keep it together, ill be happy with whatever Dallas decides.
