Your post said all time leader. It didn't specify a category.

At this point I honestly don't see the benefit of releasing Dez. Now if we would have used the money to go sign Suh or the Honey Badger, then hell yes, I drive Dez to the airport myself.

But at this point, there are nothing but trash free agents left, so what is the point? What do we need an extra $12.5 for?

Just ride out the season with Dez and see how he plays. If puts up less than 1000 yds for the 4th consecutive season, cut his arse next year and use his $12.5 to sign DLaw or ZMart.

Whatever route you took at least you wound up at the correct destination

 

[blueblood70]

Dez has 75 TDs.

Jerry Rice 208.

TO 156.

He meant as a Cowboy for the ROH..dez is the All time COWBOY TD leader but nothing else..hes done great job but not ROH yet..IMO Romo earned the ROH sometime down the road as he owns just about every Cowboys QB record there are for us, also wins td/INT ratio etc..he was all class on and off the field..he deserves it for sure..he and Witten are Locks for ROHdez not at this point..

 

[Big_D]

It forces the coaches to adjust their game plan without him. Not just try to force him the ball because his paycheck dictates they do so! There's no chemistry between him and the QB and his time here is winding down.. time to move on.

You Dezerters can create a million different threads all trying to put down Bryant but we are not a better team if we cut him.......PERIOD

If we can trade him and get fair value like a 3rd round pick then we could recoup some of the loss but we will still be worse in 2018 ......AHurns and DThompson are secondary pieces, not stars...... Dez is a star

And don't mention his money either....what are we going to spend it on ???..... and we can still create more space by keeping him....... just like DWare a few years ago...... we got worse as a team by cutting him....who cares if Dez is overpaid by 2-4m??? We are 6m under the cap right now

We didn't sign Mathieu or Suh or SRichardson or a real LBer.....just some more dumpster diving that feels like shopping in Beverly Hills after skipping the first 10 days of FA......don't be fooled

DThompson are JAGs just like CThornton, BBell, NCarroll, SPaea

We can't afford to give away legitimate stars like Dez...... that is just plain dumb and so many Mock Fans are actually rooting for it....... Here's Your Sign

agree 100%
we need to keep Dez

That's a solid point. Romo should certainly should get in the ROH.

 

[conner01]

To me the dez debate is simple
If you want to use two of your top three picks on offense this year then cutting him saves money and gets you similar production
If you want to use two of your top three picks on defense then keeping him means you don’t have to draft a WR
We are not as good without him if you don’t draft a replacement
You may not be any better with him than a rookie but you are not better on defense if you don’t draft defensive players

The draft hasn't gone down yet sire...

Dez is a has been with an ego the size of the state of Texas.

I don't care who we recently signed, at a basic level, Dez hurts more than he helps.

I'm over Dez. (you will all be soon too)

Bye Felicia.

Here's your sign.

Please wake me when he's cut.

Yer maybe right, lout, tha we won't get better without Dez. But we will remain mediocre with the volatile Dez. His stats keep skidding, runs bad routes and has hand problems. He's expensive and overrated. His physicality is farce.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

We absolutely should not cut DEZ.

I agree. All it does is create one more need on a roster that has too many already.

There are 31 other GM's hoping we cut him.

31 other GMs are welcomed to the volatility, dropping productivity, bad routes and expense. Good luck, Dez!

 

[Captain43Crash]

The Draft will help

That is our offseason........delayed gratification from the Comp Picks for FA skipped last year

Comp picks wopteedee. Late round comp picks. Will any even make the team. Seriously, maybe we’ll find a star in amongst the mediocrity!

 

[Captain43Crash]

He can only do what the coaches tell him to do.

Did the coaches tell him to drop all those passes last year? Did the coaches tell him to complain on the sidelines when he doesn't Get the ball? Did the coaches tell him to fumble after complaining to get the ball? Did the coaches tell him to stay close to the defender so Dak has a very small window to throw into?

Dez hasn't played like "a star" in 3 seasons. Nobody cares about his salary. It is is salary relative to his production that bothers people. He hasn't looked good since Romo's last full season in 2014.

 

[Section446]

We really are, the guy and his contract are a cancer that needs to be cut out.

Agreed, it would have been nice to have had some flexibility up front, when it mattered.

 

[cern]

why would anyone think dez will suddenly have a good season after the last three? hope is often confused with expectation. they are not the same.

I dont understand the point of this. I've seen others say it. Whether we use the 12.5m or not shouldnt matter . It doesn't disappear, it can be rolled over to next year. Why spend money when you can save it, just because there isn't anything at the time to spend it on?

If you own a vehicle that just isn't what it use to be but you have a few others that arent quite as good but a lot cheaper and will get you by, do you still make payments on the other that you can actually get out from underneath and make money on it? Do you not sell it because you have nothing to spend the money on at the time? Do you just not sell it and put the money in the bank until you find something to spend it on? Do you keep it and keep making payments on it just because you dont have anything else to spend the money on? Kind of waste of money to me. JMO
