I am a huge fan of the Dez Bryant pick so don't take this the wrong way.

What if Roy Williams totally turns the corner this year and blows up. Or, at the very least, plays as well as he did his best year in Detroit. Does Roy Williams become trade bait? Does Miles Austin become trade bait? Do we run with the best three wide receivers in the league?
 
Then we'll keep him and run a whole lot of 3 receiver 1 TE sets.

Then I think we would have 3 highly talented WR and Dallas becomes even harder to stop
 
Then he can be the #3 behind Dez while running 3 wide.
 
The good news about your question is that it creates the sort of "problem" every team wishes they had. This isn't like having two quarterbacks, where you really have none.

If Roy turned it around and looked like a Pro Bowl talented guy next year, option A would be to, yes, keep all three wideouts. Dez won't make much as a late first round pick, making it feasible.

Option B might be to let Austin walk, but I see this as the least likely of everything. I don't think one good season from Roy will be enough for us to let Romo's newest BFF to leave. You don't let guys like Austin walk.
 
I am not one to worry about monetary figures, but is everyone really that comfortable with having that much money locked up in receivers? Personally, I'm not.
 
Have you watched the Arizona Cardinals over the past three years?

I'm not so sure Dez isn't going to expect to be paid like a top 10 talent. I don't expect him to get top 10 money, but he won't get pick 24 money either, IMO.
 
Yea you combine the salaries of what Miles and Dez may get and what Roy gets now and its not really that out of the park number for a talented receiving core.

If he plays well? You have one of the best receiving cores in the league HOPEFULLY. And I think Roy will play well this season. He can't get any worse that's for sure.

But if Roy can give me 800 yards this season and atleast 6 td's? I'm satisfied. Sure he gets paid a lot but you have to be realistic about what Roy is capable of. And being what? The 3rd option behind Witten and Miles? If my 3rd option can give me 800 yards i'm satisfied.

This...all three should be on the field at all times anyway.

Its breaking your bank huh? :laugh2: Unless Jerry is hurting, I have no concern with how much money they have in the receiver position. Its a passing league and your quarterback and receiving position should have a lot of money tied into it. I may feel otherwise if Miles has a "sophomore slump" or if Roy keeps sucking or if Dez never becomes nothing more than a #3. But as of right now? I can't imagine Dez killing our payroll with #24 pick salary. Miles will get something similar to Roy if not less.

Do you really have any idea how much money Miles Austin might wind up getting? I don't but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is top 5-10 wide receiver money. Even if the both of them still only equal what Roy is getting, that is a ton of cash locked up in three players who share one football.
 
Another option is if Roy turns it around some he will actually be tradeable.

Like I stated, I am really less worried about the money issue than the ability to appease three wide receivers who consider themselves number ones.

So why does he not get 24th money, while the guy before him gets 23rd and that guy after gets 25th.

He is not a QB, everybody knew he wasnt a top 10 pick, why does he deserve to be paid above the ridiculously high payscale?
