It doesn't matter if there were rumors about Dez or not, the fact they were pursuing Watkins is the key piece of information. It shows the Cowboys were looking for for a high quality receiver and were not looking to be left with the group they ended up with. That applies whether Dez was better than Watkins or not.1. Do you not understand that you always ignore what I clearly state in my post and the statement where I said there were rumors they were going to release Dez anyways and that Jones called him a distraction while Dak was blaming him for an INT when he threw it behind Dez?
2. It's not hindsight when Sammy was playing for the Rams. Sammy Watkins sucked with the Rams and was not in any way considered on the level of Dez. Watkins was signed by the CHIEFS, even though Dallas offered him more in free agency.
Look at your post? Your talking about the Rams, not the Chiefs.
You're right that I didn't have the timing of the Rams/Chiefs right - my fault on that. But the point remains that the Cowboys were willing to pay Watkins a big contract, and the Chiefs (not Rams) were willing to pay him even more, which still proves my point that teams viewed Watkins as a top receiver, and were willing to pay him accordingly - and in turn that proves the Cowboys weren't planning on going into the season with the guys they did - they were trying to get something better.
And, again, none of what you have said proves Dak dictated to the team who to sign or not sign at WR, or that Dak told the team he didn't care about having higher quality receivers than they ended up with.
