I realize Gallup is likely to come back, likely by game 3. But that shouldn't have been a factor. When you have a player like Julio Jones on the market and you can bring him in for $6 million for a single year, why wouldn't you do it?

Even though he's 33-years old, he's likely going to start for you and produce to some degree even if he doesn't reach 1,000 yards.

I'm a fan of Fehoko, and even Tolbert (not so much Houston), but I can't understand why the Cowboys would think Noah Brown is a better option than either of those two, much less Julio Jones.

How does Dallas miss out on signing a player like Julio Jones?

Or Jarvis Landry. Or traded for Robert Woods. Lots of ignored options - but we go with Dennis Houston.

this team is where you go to collect a check and that's it. this is not the 70's team or the 90 teams. this team is not special, it's just a place to end your career with a last big pay check. sad but true.

Y’all didn’t want him here. Julio wanted to go to a team that will get him the ball. Julio isn’t even the number 1 receiver in Tampa but he was way more involved in the game plan than he ever was in Tennessee.

Jones as a #4 is better than anything we have at WR....Lamb is a bust! Doesn't matter who we have at QB....this season, with this WR corp, is done!!!

Would not have made a shred of difference last game.

Julio would not have come here. Brady calls and just about anybody will show up for him, because they know Brady is serious and you would have a chance for a ring. shrugs. who wouldn't
Julio was not going to a team with a WR corps like this one.

TB is the perfect fit for him.
