News: ESPN: Dez Bryant: 'Don't test my loyalty'

[StarBoyz83]

I love dez but I have a hard time giving him 100 when a guy like brown only makes 48. But id hate to see him go to the eagles or something like that!!!

 

[Frozen700]

I don't want to see him walk but this notion oh the Cowboys will collapse without Dez as if he is the only WR in the entire NFL other teams have won without Dez. I don't think Williams or Beasley or Harris would fill the void Dallas clearly would have to add a talented WR. I want a deal done but there is a bottom line in which Dallas should not go over in terms of payout. In the end I think Dez deal will get done but he is 1 person and this crap of well just rebuild the entire team comments you have made based on Dez not being here is flat out stupid.

Again, look at the teams that have Won, we are not built like them.

Romo is not Brady, Manning, or Rodgers. The other teams that have won, had great defense's

Giants, Ravens, Seahawks ect all had great Defense's playing great at that time. We have no pass rush, and only 1 true cover corner(OScan.)

 

[DFWJC]

I'd like to see what kind of numbers Dez would put up trying to catch balls from RG3/McCoy/Cousins and Mark Sanchez.

Yep

Ask Vincent Jackson if he misses Philip Rivers.
He got paid though...but that's about it.

 

[Doomsday101]

We are not built like those teams. Are you that big of a homer?

We are not the Pats. We don't have Tom Brady. We don't have a QB that you can just put **** around and he can make it happen. Manning? He won with weapons, and still has to have weapons to compete, stop it. Rodgers, he has the weapons, and a great playing D that year. Seahawks? They had the best Defense in the whole league, and a QB who was mobile and could buy time, with a top 3 running back. Ravens? They had a great Defense, and a hot QB at the time. Steelers? Again, they had a great D at the time.

We are not built like other teams, we don't have that defense. We need weapons to succeed. Plain and simple. Right now Dez is our biggest weapon.

Do you know what Homer even fricken means? I want Dez but as I have said not at CJ money and not at Fitz money. If he were to walk then yes Dallas would have to look at WR if you have not noticed there are a lot of quality WR and even a player less than Dez is capable of making large contributions. You acting as if Dez is the only player on this team he is not. I want him very much but within reason

So you pay Dez what he thinks he deserves how do you resign or upgrade the defense you clearly have pointed out needs help?
You can't put all your marbles on a WR. Romo might not make it much longer, is Dez going to be great with a Rook QB?
There's a ton of factors the FO has to think about for the future, not just Dez.

Overall I hear what you are saying. If we had a QB with a real great Resume(Romo is not horrible, but still), and a team known to play good-great D. I would agree. Trust me I would.

I was all for letting Newman go, I was a bigger fan of his than Dez. The problem is we finally have something really good/elite. We can't just let him go.

We are just not built like that.

Yes Dallas has more building to do on defense no one has said they didn't. Manning, Rodgers and Brady have not won any SB recently so why continue to talk about them? Dallas is more than just Dez Braynt, he is important I agree and I want him signed

The problem is, we have drafted defense, signed free agents. We will never be good on D. Ever. We just suck at defense. We are better off having a D like the way it is now, hope to get lucky in the early rounds on a pass rusher, while we still have a potent offense.

Mike J,MO, Spencer, ect have all sucked. We don't draft defense good. The ones we have, are injured, and have gotten to old and play better else where (Newman, Ware, Lee ect)

We can just agree on this than.

What like Flacco? Eli or Wilson? As for how the Cowboys are built this season? There are other things needed especially on defense. They have made strides but much more needs to be done. I'm all for getting Dez resigned I think it has to be within reason. I fully expect him to be in the top 5 WR when all is said and done

I agree, we need much more to be done on D. I just don't think we can ever be that great on defense. It's like we are cursed to just be "above average"-"Poor"

We always showed flash's in the past to be great on Offense though.

Still a few pieces on D would not hurt. I agree.

 

[TwistedMetal]

Just franchise Dez next year and trade him if he squawks. Dez is a great receiver, but no receiver is worth breaking the bank (and the defense for).

 

[DFWJC]

I want Dez to stay badly.

But if you look at the top WRs this year statistically, 11 of the top 17 were drafted after the 1st round.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Dez/Lesean/and Maclin would dominate. For you to say other wise, you are just being blind, and a homer.

Maclin speaks for himself. He's not your prototypical WR. Dude isn't even probably considered top 10. His numbers have been great this season though, and he get's it done. So Dez would have a hell of a year in the Eagles System.

RG3, I'll give you that 1. It could work though.

If Philly signed Dez, there would be no Lesean.

Aaron Rodgers won a SB 3 years ago...isn't that pretty recent.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

If you were in favor of paying Tony the contract we payed him, then you really can't complain about what happens with Dez. There are only so many zeros a team can spend against the cap. You have to plan to deal with that, both short term and long term.

If Dez goes, then he goes. If we work it out, then we work it out. I hope we are disciplined enough to work out a deal that is beneficial for both the team and Dez. If not, tag him and play on.

 

[phildadon86]

The fans on this board are literally either joking, or really dont understand what losing Dez Bryant would mean. A) Murray has been healthy the first time in his career, during a contract year....hmmmm. B) The reason Murray looks the way he does is because they always have 2 players on Dez. Take him out of the equation. Now they stack the box, and we do what? Hope romo lasts the season? Really? Come on guys. We are not going to draft a WR that teams automatically double team and build entire game plans around.

Here are the 10 Largest WR contracts in the NFL today. Show me which one of these guys has been the driving force in a Super Bowl Championship. Hard to make the case that posters don't understand what Dez means.

Depends on the QB per my original point. Maclin has hardly had a great career.

Greg Jennings won a superbowl. He was huge in the win against Pittsburgh and in the playoffs. Larry Fitz almost won Arizona the superbowl for Arizona against Pittsburgh but Big Ben threw a td with like 30 seconds left or whatever it is. Jordy Nelson looks incredible this year, and Green Bay looks unstoppable. And Percy harvin, well, pretty sure he was the driving force in seattles superbowl in last season. So,,,,,,your point? lol
