Twitter: Jerry: Cowboys fans shouldn't worry. Dez isn't going anywhere

[Doomsday101]

You think he just called up a reporter and made the statement? Or was asked the question and simply answered?

I agree, all he did was reassure fans that Dez is not going anywhere. Tag could be a last resort but in the end I think both sides will come to an agreement. Meantime I don't see this affecting Dez at all.

 

[nablives]

Never doubted it. Jerry loves flashy players, especially when they're productive. God, it's probably going to be a mega deal though.

 

[Doomsday101]

And? Again, why bring it up in the media if it's a given? Why the F are we talking about contract negotiations right before the playoffs?! Just when I think Jerry may be on the road to recovery, he says stuff like this and makes me realize this man will never get a clue.

this man who is blamed for every thing has helped put together a team that is 11-4 and NFC East Division winner. People may not want to credit him but fact is he has last word on all matters and so if he is going to take blame then he damn well deserves credit for this current team

Despite the fact that Dez has said he would be extremely upset with the franchise tag? And now Jerry comes out in the media and basically guarantees he is going to be franchised unless he agrees to a deal? And you don't see this affecting Dez at all?

jerry is asked these question by the media all he has said is Dez is not going anywhere. No I don't see this affecting Dez hell earlier in the year when Dez said loyalty only goes so far as he was signing with new agent it had no affect on him at all nor will this comment. Fact is if push comes to shove Dallas will tag him before they lose him, Dez and his agent damn well know that as well and in the end Jerry has always done right by his players, he has paid often more than what many fans think he should so when it comes to contract I have no doubt a deal will get done

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? I'm criticizing him for poor choice of words and timing of those words, not the team he put together.

What can I say?


He is who he is..... "And that's that... And there ain't nothin you can do about it"

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

There's many things everyone knows at any given moment that they don't say just because they know.

Look.... You know ... that I know ... that you know ... we all know .... what the deal is.

Understand ?


Hey Norton!!

I'm more worried about getting electrocuted by my Christmas tree than Dez leaving.

Ahhh....return of ... The Killer Christmas Trees..
for those who remember the original SNL skits.....when they were the best.....

Listen, I don't think it's that big of a deal, just entirely unnecessary. There was absolutely no reason to respond to a reporter about ongoing contract negotiations, particularly at this point of the season.

Because you criticize him for everything. I know many here do not get it but Jerry is not a stupid man, he has been dealing with players for over 20 years he gets these contracts done. meantime the same old crowd get their panties in a wad yet few will even acknowledge the fact that he and this organization have put together a winning program

 

[DallasDomination]

Pay the man! He's our future and our present.

 

[Oh_Canada]

You don't "simply answer" loaded questions like this. You use your brain and experience with the media and realize there is a time and place for comments like this and this wasn't one of them.

.....and what exactly should he have said? You think Dez and his team don't know what's happening? Man, people get there underwear in knots over nothing and this is nothing.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I don't understand the problem? We all knew this. Dez knows this too. There is nothing Earth shattering here.

Last year the franchise tag was $12.312 million for WRs. I am sure Dez will get over the shock in short order. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...eleases-2014-franchise-transition-tag-numbers

True but players are looking for security of a long term deal not the 1 year payout. Hopefully something is done and a compromise can be reached so that we do not have to tag him. One thing for sure he will be a Dallas Cowboy in 2015

Dez and Ro before Murray...

Exactly. I'm sure as much as JJ and Dez are around each other, they both know a deal will get done that makes both sides happy and keeps Dez in Dallas. Jerry plays the media as much as the media thinks they are playing JJ. You don't become a billionaire by being stupid.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Was never worried.

 

[pastordug]

There are several issues that I see here. First, Dez has to know that he is the one who made the decision not to have contract negotiation right now. No problem with that. However since the media can't talk about the Boy's choking right now they HAVE to use Dez. I think deep down Dez knows he will be one of the top 3 highest paid receivers by the Cowboys when all is said and done. Jerry does also...........
