Even re-signing 30-year old Randall Cobb is a way better idea.
This. I was skeptical on Cobb but he was great in the back half of the season.
Dez is a tricky one. I think he could have a lot of upside if he's actually gotten his body right and will come very cheap. If he were from another team, and I thought we needed a free agent WR, I'd be all over it.
But the precedent of Witten is a bad one, while Witten on paper was a better situation for us. He was treated like a go to guy even when he wasn't one. it cost us at times. That's the cost. But we really did need another TE. That's the fit.
Dez has the cost of likely too much respect, without the fit of need.
I like out WRs, and don't think we need another. It was a crime that Devin Smith didn't get more playtime last year. Given the competition, I wouldn't want to sign a guy who we weren't willing to cut, and I don't see us cutting Dez if we pick him up. Similarly, much like the case of Witten, we might use him as more of a go to player than he is because of his history here.
But Dez did say TE. That's a little more interesting. We have a need there. Witten should be gone, and Schultz sucks. Maybe Dez has put on a little weight and can be a Noah Brown who can catch. And we could use a punt returner, with Austin likely leaving.
