Do you think Dez would have been brought back if they did not draft CeeDee?

[Redball Express]

oh interesting, i hadn't read that. Well i guess lets hope he lives up to the pedigree of the men that wore it before him!

Doing this number change is clearly a message to Dez.

"No returns or exchanges without a receipt"

 

[Redball Express]

It’s a statement. Dez is dead to the Cowboys.

Yeah..

"Zed?

Zed's dead".

 

[Jipper]

Yeah..

"Zed?

Zed's dead".

great movie ....it’s a chopper baby

 

[The Quest for Six]

Dez Bryant was NEVER coming back regardless of the draft

 

[fivetwos]

10 looks cool as hell on him....88 will look awkward, and will drive me nuts every time I see it knowing Jerrah forced it on him, Any chance he still ends up with 10?

I dont know how fair it would be to the 4-5 people who bought the 88 jersey.

Hashtag tired as hell.

Not all that long ago I wouldnt have agreed, but I think that's 100% the case.

They know him all too well to know that he would never accept not being the focal point of the offense.

Dez = Has Been

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

The glue that holds the team together ... Dez Bryant ... *cough, cough*

John Travolta was outstanding in this movie.

When this came out..I thought him washed up.

The funniest scene is when he overdosed the bosses girlfriend and has to do the adrenal shot to her heart.

I am not wanting to watch meanwhile LMAO at the scene.

Priceless.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

No, Dez was never coming back.

To be honest, I think the Cowboys would have brought Tavon Austin back if they didn't get a receiver in the draft.

 

[rags747]

Who is the better receiver coming out of college? I remember when Dez slipped and we picked him I was ecstatic.

 

[Corso]

I do. I think you are an idiot.

Lol. You do you buddy.

Just curious. Do you think Dez would have been brought back if they did not draft CeeDee? Do you think it’s still possible he is brought back? If he comes back do you think he will behave and be a contributor?

My view is:

Definitely- Yes

I think there is a 10 pct chance. If someone gets hurt 90 pct.

I believe he would help out. I also think he would behave. He knows this is his last chance.

Dez was possible as veteran guy to take some WR3 snaps and backup the starters. Probably not the best fit here for it and with us, but I think teams not considering him are silly. Former All Pros looking for work don't grow on trees. He's surely not what he was, but he signed for nothing with the Saints, and has a lot of upside over that nothing.

With Lamb here and us likely going 3WR as our base, maybe we need another veteran WR to back up those guys?

Maybe, I don't think Dez is a poor fit for that. Better to get a veteran cap casualty who executes better than Dez but will be happy with a pure backup role. I think Dez views this next year as a "prove it" year, and will want the snaps to do it.

Regardless who we drafted Dez wasn’t coming back to the Cowboys. All the chatter about him coming back to the team was created by him. The team didn’t get this started he got it started. We’re not bringing in any aging veteran receivers. Our top 3 WRs are set.

Our top 3 are set. But it would be nice to have a veteran who could back them up. With Lamb, I think we're going 3WR as our base. Having a legitimate veteran backup for *all 3* spots would be a good idea, IMO.

I like Devin Smith a lot, but we have *no* proven depth after the top 3.

Let it go.

Shouldn't WR4's be also playing Special Teams?
Maybe they'd make him do it.

A legitimate veteran backup isn’t going to want to play behind three receivers. They’re going to want to play. We have developing receivers behind our top three who’ve had some playing time. We’re set at WR.

 

[Corso]

Look guys.

Get over your Dez love affair.
I get it. I wanted him to join for nothing also, but this team is fine without him.
Maybe better without him.


Just move forward for once.

A veteran who knows he's on the downside of his career, wants a check, and maybe a playoff run. Those guys exist every year.

The "developing" WRs we still have on the roster had 11 total catches last year. That's not a lot of development or experience to be relying on to back up our 3 starters. Not enough for me, at least.

Backing up 3 starters, and giving them breaks, is a plenty big job.
