Our highest paid players are not very good

Witten, God love him, is still serviceable but needs to be on a PT basis now. Lots of drops and blocking has faltered.

Oscan has really gotten bad.

Dez, 17 million, for bad routes and what else? A good practice player?

Crawford? Just a rotational normal player.

Twill, hands of stone and a #3 WR.

Lee is still awesome when available.

Tyron worries me. Nick Perry was blowing past him with a club yesterday because of that back.

None of these players outside of Tyron, Lee, and TFred are elite. Thank goodness for Dak and Zeke.

Wow....it's troublesome to actually see this list

Williams makes like $5 million dude.

I was looking at 2018 cap numbers. My whole post is ruined
Twill is the least of our problems. I believe the original poster @Aven8 is more concerned with the top 3 guys. Others are an issue too, but twill is low on my own personal list


But as always I respect your opinion, we just disagree.



That Witten 12.2 million cap hit is painful. Dez Bryant's 17 million is quite frankly ridiculous for his projected output. TCraw at 10 million. :facepalm:

Yet you were throwing up the "X" in your living room when he scored that TD.

Tell me, who's the Cowboys leading receiver this season and post the numbers. The team's receiving numbers are down across the board.

But we're paying $17 million to a No. 2 possession receiver who has iffy hands and runs bad routes.

Dez was purely the product of Romo, just like Crayton, Austin, and Robinson.

I will say, Dez made a nice catch on that TD on a terribly thrown ball by Dak.

Well, was at the game, so no.

He's the most targeted WR in the league, of course he's our leading WR, that's not saying much. He's a bum and could easily be replaced by a number of rookies.

Add to the list Frederick. And soon to be paid Martin. I give TSmith a pass because the guy is always dealing with back stuff. He needs the off time.

Dez is overrated and overpaid but they'd be screwed without him. He at least still draws one of the other team's top guys. He is probably somewhere around the 20-25th best WR in the league, so a crappy #1.

Can't compare the Dez back then to the Dez today. Different players. Dez back then, when healthy, was awesome.
