Today's Dez is okay to keep, BUT NOT AT ANYTHING OVER $7 MILLION. Everybody knows it, so why act dumb? What's more important to you? Dez the player or the Dallas Cowboys team? Make a choice.
Why does the money matter.... it isn't yours

We are 6m under the cap right now with another 35m a penstroke away.... who are we spending it on???

I could have Dez getting a 9m cap hit savings in an hour......that would be a 7.5m cap hit for 2018

Because it affects the team and its ability to field a winning group of talent. So what is more important to you? Dez's overpaid contract or the Cowboys???

First post and you are going to step to me......shows some balls young padawan

Too bad you are 100% wrong.....neither one is expendable

NEXT......No soup for you!!!!!
Sorry Dezbians, but if you can’t understand that Dez has completely lost more than a step in his entire game, then there’s no hope for you. If we keep him this season, then fine, but I’d rather get something for him now before he nose dives completely and we get nothing.

That is the beauty....he hasn't lost a step at all....his game was never built on speed

If you knew anything you would know this...... he is a Red Zone monster

We haven't payed Martin yet and there is also the draft class to sign. David Irving was tendered but what if he plays lights out this season and Dallas wants to offer him a contract before he hits the FA market. You can't have 30 million tied up in your WRs.

We are paying ZMartin 9.3m this year
We are 60m under the cap next year
Draft class will cost 2.4m to sign

Nah. Not really. He has his moments, but tends to get outmuscled and lets lesser CBs get in his head. It happens when you’re a mental midget.

Dez is the only receiver we have that concerns anyone. Despite his drop in numbers he still has to be accounted for especially in the redzone. He’s put up 13 TDs the past two seasons. We’re not going to be as good without him unless we have a better player to replace him with and we currently don’t.

No one is even saying he is perfect or can't get better

He has to step up or step off...... it is now or never

Just don't throw him away in a juvenile attempt to feel strong for 5 minutes in the offseason

It is like quitting a job or breaking up with a girlfriend ......never do it until you already have the replacement

All true...

But what about the overpaid contract??? Hmm...

For the one hundred millionth time.....it's not about being better or worse with or without Dez. It's whether his production is worth the salary.

Sammy Watkins had 39 catches last year and got 16MM in Free Agency. "Worth your salary" is a relative term that changes from month to month and if you cut Dez, you have to factor in what it will take to replace him.
