The reasoning behind bringing Dez Bryant back in 2018
https://thelandryhat.com/2018/01/28/dez-bryant-reasoning-back-2018/




One of the biggest headlines heading into the 2018 offseason is the future of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant; but why all the drama?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is currently slated to count $16.5 million against the salary cap going into the 2018 season. That currently sits as the second highest cap hit against the Cowboys with left tackle Tyron Smith accounting for the highest salary cap hit at $17.5 million. With Bryant coming off a season that saw him produce only 69 receptions for 838 yards and only six touchdowns, many are asking if he is worth the investment.

While fans are certainly justified to question Bryant for his drop in production from the success he saw in 2012-2014, there are many layers to this puzzle that lay deeper than just his current salary cap number for the 2018 season. While many fans get caught up in the $16.5 million overall cap hit, and justly so, there are many ways to maneuver around that number. Dez has been adamant saying that he will not be accepting a pay cut going as far as to say, ” Probably not. Hell no, man. I believe in me.”

Lets start with one thing: Dez is not being released and will be returning next season; pay cut or not put aside. Schematically, releasing Bryant does nothing for the Cowboys. The Cowboys do not currently possess a number one receiving option, regardless of whether or not you believe Dez is a number one receiving option...

biggest reason....replace him with who?
no one will trade for him cause they think we'll cut him.
he is better than any f/a WR on the market.
Id rather have Dez and Calvin Ridley or Dez and DJ Moore than Ridley and TWill as a starting duo.
his deal needs to be restructured no question...but who do you replace him with.

ps....the steelers aint swapin us Dez for Brown.

 

[pacy]

Dez will take a paycut or he will be gone. Dez might play hard ball and don't want to take a paycut.

 

[cern]

designating him a june 1 cut will give us 12 million more cap space. at this point, that trumps anything he does on the field. addition by subtraction is, imo, the best answer. time to move on from the petulant one.

 

[Kaiser]

Dez isn't going anywhere. We have a ton of money under the cap and the issues from 2017 are all things that can be corrected - scheme, timing with Dak, deep threat opposite him, health, etc.

 

[cowboyblue22]

they may rework his money but I don't think he is gone this season they don't have a replacement

and we can't spend the money until June 2nd when all the FAs are gone

I like the the hard edged approach, as it's coming across like a page out of the "evil Lord" BB's no b.s. & pissed-off playbook,,, but then I read,,,,

THIS !
Although, wouldn't restructuring his contract just lessen the current 'cap hit' while pretty much guaranteeing this current malaise added years to linger?

( I'm an #88 fan and want him to be the #1 w.r. he's being paid to be, look guys!
He's a Cowboy & I wouldn't want to see him play anywhere else,same with the Beas #11,,,you'd think he wouldn't be so inflexible in his stance, as a life after football like a Jerry Rice or more notably, a SHANON SHARPE,,,just ain't in the cards for him( IMO) so, he seriously ought to factor that 'family & friend for life' JERRY'S embraced him with into his life's planning, cuz' he's not near as fantastic as he thinks he is,,,or,,,even as good as he had used to be )

 

[willia451]

I've said it before. I would have cut him after the Seahawks game. This immature man-child that has always had problems learning his routes needs to go. Immediately.

All the talent in the world can't make up for what he lacks in his stinking brain pan.

I didn’t know we were a dominat passing team...

I thought we invested in Oline and an elite running game

I loved seeing the pats, eagles, Vikings, jaguars

Those teams have an ELITE wr... oh wait

 

[ShiningStar]

Dez still commands respect, and if this offense can get back on track he ll command double coverage again. we just need a better number 2 and use Beasley better.

Cut Dez and replace him with who?
a rookie?....so a rookie and TWill help Dak?
Cut Dez and sign what f/a?
Dez is a better WR than ANY f/a Ive seen listed.
Trade Dez to who and for who?....no one is going to trade for Dez after the year he had.

restructure his deal....draft an up-grade at WR2...at 19 focus on a OL,DT or LB.

Dez and DJ Moore>TWill and ?

I mean the eagles helped Young wentz with cast offs Jeffery and Torrey Smith...

Rams helped Goff with a rookie (forget his name who torched us) and cast off Watkins

KC helped their running game with some guy who is a burner and keeps the back 7 on their toes

*Shrugs* but I mean if you like 16.5 mill a year tied up with his production and a QB who doesn’t know how to use him

I personally think dak can win a super bowl with the right team around him similar to Russell Wilson... he'll never be Rodgers, Romo, Manning, or hell matt Ryan or Kirk cousins and throw for a ton of yards but I think he can play solid lean on our strengths running game and hopefully a more dominate defense... but hey some fans like high powered offense that sell jerseys

I already said his deal needs to be restructured.
I want the best team on the field for Dak.
If there is a better f/a WR...Im all in for cutting Dez.
But there isnt....draft Will Hernendez at 19 to solidify our OL.....draft Rashaan Evans in the 2nd to replace Hitchens....draft DJ Moore at WR in the 3rd as an up-grade over TWill.
RESTRUCTURE Dez deal.....2018....WIN!!!!

 

[DHCBF66]

I doubt Dez will be going anywhere unless the FO surprises with a big name trade. Fix the o-line. Tyron being injured and Bell were the main reason this offense took a couple steps back. Losing Zeke for 6 games didn't help either. Dez may have his issues but he is far from the problem.

 

[cern]

and we can't spend the money until June 2nd when all the FAs are gone

i'm more concerned with keeping the money for signing irving and hitchens. I don't see dez improving at this point in his career. he hears the footsteps too much now, imo. he spends as much time looking to see who's going to hit him on a play as he does looking for the ball. he had a great career catching contested balls. but the result was too many injuries.

 

[Proof]

and we can't spend the money until June 2nd when all the FAs are gone

Lol basically. Or like demarco we will use it to overpay one of our own like Crawford.

The fact of the matter is that dez is overpaid and the money saved won’t field anyone that would be a difference maker in his place. Is what it is.

 

[cern]

if we draft wr's this year, it will probably be an indication dez is gone. if not, he'll be back.

ps....the steelers aint swapin us Dez for Brown.

There aren't many WR who as draft picks can step right in year one and replace 800-1000 yards. He stays in 2018 because of his experience and don't tell me Dez can't catch 15 more balls in 2018 than 2017 and be a 1000 yard receiver. He dropped a few catchable because something in his mind wasn't right. So get him a good shrink and get his mind right. A few weren't exactly easy catches either! As fans we forget that it took Romo and Dez two full years before Dez became a 1000 yard guy. It didn't happen until year 3 and the two spent hours (supposedly) getting on the same page. Unfortunately Dez is 3 years older than the "1000 yard guy", time waits for no man Dez.

Should we draft a WR? Absolutely. Top three rounds yep. One who will push T Will at the least. I want to see what Switzer can do too. Noah Brown as well, if nothing else he's a very good blocker.

 

[zekecowboy]

A speedy wide receiver (sub 4.4) who can catch the ball AND get separation will do wonders for Dak and Dez. Also, a better scheme will help.
