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
And you have a huge gaping hole at WR...... but we saved cap space.....YEAH!!!!!!

you serious Clark???

a WR2 and a WR3 don't replace a WR1
I dont see much difference between Hurns and Dez at this point of their careers. you got to factor in Thompson with his speed to run those go routes to open things up.

this is not the dez of 2012-2014. we're dealing with the dez of 2015-2017. JAG. nothing more. vastly overpaid. how does overpaying a jag make us better? it does not. it's just throwing good money after bad. cull him. keep the money. draft a good wr. these seem far more prudent actions than keeping him just for the memories.

Yeah, thats just where we disagree. I dont see a HUGE GAPING hole if we cut Dez. I see us losing a borderline #1 or a good #2 wr that has a elite wr cap hit.

His numbers the past 3 years are similar to Twill but twill is the one everyone wants to get rid of and the one who doesn't get the built in excuses that Dez gets for his lack of production.

If anyone thinks Dez is still a true #1 wr then I get your argument but just disagree with it.

Just throw away his 17 TDs

That is the same amount JJones had and JLandry......two Belles of the Ball

False. The games he missed in 2016 with a rookie QB proved we don't need him and are actually better without him. He's a net negative when he's on the field. No idea how people do not see this.

75 TDs

more than Mike and TO and Drew and every other Cowboy ever

And Romo has better stats than every other QB in this franchise's history.

So he's obviously better!! :rolleyes:

Dez doesn't even come close to impacting the game as those other WRs you named. 2 of them are champions. The other has been to a Super Bowl and will be a HOFer. Dez is not anywhere close to a HOFer. He doesn't even belong in the ring of honor.

More to sports than just stats on paper.
