It was between Beasley and Harris and who they would spend the money on... Street had nothing to do with Harris being gone.

Knowing what we know now (although I said this from the very beginning)

I'd much rather have Harris and Murray than Dez.

Dez's contract will come back to haunt us one of these days much like Megatron's contract situation with the Lions. It will one day prevent us from resigning either Frederick, Martin, Collins, etc.

He'd be relegated to returns and special teams here. Wouldn't see the field as a receiver.

That's because we have a clown coaching staff. Garrett is at the bottom of the league as a coach and so is his entire staff. The only reason he has even an ounce of success is because of Romo.

Garrett is a joke.

Dwayne Harris was very average last year, and didnt do anything worthy of a deal

As a receiver running routs and getting open, not as hard as he's doing there.

Said what you will about the guy but "lack of effort" is not one of them.

I know the Gspots paid and at the TIME I thought they over paid but he's having a helluva season. Couple key catches vs. the Pats has NY knocking on the door. Then again, with Matt Cassell and Weeden throwing him the ball, maybe it wouldn't have mattered.

Really, not having Harris on the roster isnt the reason this team is 2-7....

Oh please stop with the Dwayne Harris stuff. No way we should have paid him that kind of money and he wouldn't have made a difference here without Romo. He's having a nice year with the Giants but he wasn't going to get that money here and he wasn't going to make a difference in how the team is playing right now. We're still a 2-7 team with or without Harris.

Well, he did return a kickoff for a touchdown when we played the Giants in the second meeting. So I think it's safe to say he would have made a difference for us had he still been here.

Yeah because the Giants kicker would have kicked it right to him in the middle of the field and he would have ran it 100 yards back for us. :facepalm:

It would have happened exactly like that for us if he were still a Cowboy. Being that returning a kickoff for TD happens less than 10-15 times per season. I'm go with ******** on 'So I think it's safe to say he would have made a difference for us had he still been here.'

You missed my point TOTALLY. Had he been here he wouldn't have been in NY to return the kickoff for the Giants.
So him being a Cowboy more than likely WOULD have made a difference for us. Think subtraction by addition.

And his several fumbles a year will cost the Giants at some point.

Okay, then what was my point?

It's amazing how we would laugh at the Giants picking up our "scraps" like Bennett and Harris. Then when they go there, they have career highs.

That is why I don't want this team to give up on Escobar. He could be something special elsewhere.

I don't think anybody was laughing at either of those acquisitions, were they? They overpaid a bit for Harris, maybe, but he's a good player and a very useful guy to have on a roster.

I agree with you on Escobar. I thought he'd have a much bigger impact on the offense after Dunbar went out. Surprised still that he has not, honestly. He's a matchup guy on a team that needs matchups.

As they say, Harris is just a football player. period.
It's hard to define because he's not a superstar at anything. But he's the type of player that makes your team better.
It's not like we wanted to get rid of him. It's just that the Giants paid him really well and we had allocated some of that money to Beaz.

I always liked him, but if we weren't going to let him ever play WR, it probably wasn't a fit.

Funny, but during the game we threw a screen to Dez, I think, and the WR out there where Harris would've been last year totally whiffed on the block. We then had to punt.
He just always did so many little things to help us.

$3.5M per year isn't a lot.
