Twitter: Would you replace Cobb with Percy Harvin?

[Texas_Pete]

He's making a comeback at age 31

why not?

 

[BigTimeBlues]

I'm sure he could be effective for the 6 games out of the year he'll actually play.

 

[JoeKing]

If his constant migraines are gone, why not?

I would have him battle Devin Smith first.

But act like he isn't a set piece.

I'm in the minority, but I'm not worried about bringing in someone to replace Cobb. Pollard will have an expanded role and Jarwin will be more active in the passing game than Witten. Those two alone will approximate Cobb's production. Plus, we're still planning to run a heavy dose of Zeke.

The guy hasn't even played since what , 2016 ? Draft a youngster in the 4th or 5th round.............All the talk in the off-season has been this class is loaded with wide-out talent..........

 

[Doomsday101]

I think Harvin is a very good player but in my opinion as deep as this draft is at WR I think Dallas could find a very good slot WR through out this draft.

If we're talking about prime player vs. prime player then yea, no brainer.

But Harvin is nothing more than a low-risk acquisition at this point. You can't depend on him for anything.

No, thanks. He was good(not great) his first 3 years in the league many years ago. He got by on his athleticism, but never seemed to improve those little nuances of the wide receiver position. You don't get better sitting out 3 years of football and that is on top of only appearing in 30 games over his last 5 seasons. He missed 53 games over his playing career. I don't see him being worth the time. Maybe if he returned punts, but he has never done that in his career. Go younger and someone who has been playing in recent seasons.

I don’t care how good his conditioning is.....NO. His hands were never the greatest, but he made big plays with his legs. There’s no way he hasn’t lost some of his speed. Go young!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

If he's healthy and his head is right hell yea. Non-guaranteed one year prove deal but I'd still draft one in the mid-rounds.

We are a high volume passing team. Even though he was very good, we still have to replace Wittens production. Thats more where Jarwin comes in. Even if we give him more opportunities, Pollard isnt going to replace Cobbs production.

We lost a lot of targets in FA. Probably more than people realize. Its very doubtful we can successfully replace them without adding top talent

And in his prime he was too injury prone

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I'm confused........Stephen just said they will look to the draft for Cobb's replacement. But I can't imagine them using 1st, 2nd or even 3rd round pick on a slot receiver. Even if its a 3rd, seems to me asking him to be a day-one starter is reaching a bit. Unless he was also saying they could trade a pick on draft day for a vet.

 

[Carson]

I give him the same contract I gave Smith

He’s probably all in because now he can smoke weed for his migraines.

The key in the NFL is to stay young. 30 is the magic number.

Both kickers, the punter, and long snapper are over 30. That's ok. They're not really football players.

Lee 33, McCoy 32, Olawale 31, Crawford 30, and Goodwin 30 have all hit the magic number in the NFL.

You look to replace players that are 30 and over. You don't look to add them.
