Dez Bryant Plays Rock Paper Scissors
Not gonna lie, kinda expected Dez Bryant to be on a team by now.
I wasn’t shocked the Cowboys released Bryant. He doesn’t seem to fit with the new look of the offense. For a while there the Cowboys offensive identity was Romo, Witten, and Dez. It seemed difficult to successfully stop all 3, but if you did you had a good chance of winning since in that same time frame their defense was a joke. Then the boys found a run game, Romo got Dak’d, and Dez just hasn’t produced much without Romo back there. It seems like the Cowboys big target is future Patriot Cole Beasley.
I don’t think Dez was ever the superstar some do. He played like it occasionally but he was never quite a Julio or Megatron level WR. He was tier 2. Very good, but not quite great. At his absolute peak maybe, but he wasn’t there long enough. But he’s also still pretty good, even if these last two years have not made him look as such. At least I think he’s still good. Maybe he fell off a bit for a reason. I was shocked to find out he is only 29, thought for sure he was past 30. He feels like he’s been in the league forever.
Dez is very easily a #2 and for some teams an easy #1, so the fact that nobody has scooped him up is surprising. Maybe this is a case like Suh, where he is good enough that he can take his time to make the right choice for his career, as this is likely the last big contract he’ll get. Or there is more to his play we don’t know and he actually isn’t that highly coveted.
It seems the split wasn’t quite peaceful. I’ve seen Dez linked to the Giants in a lot of reports, kind of like he wants revenge. I don’t see him becoming a Giant. He’d cost too much even if we cut BMarsh soon(a high possibility).
Edit: Lol told ya it was a high possibility
I’m going to guess Dez’s market isn’t too hot given what time of year it is, most teams blew their cap load on other players and most teams are too busy looking at the draft.
Think Dez signs after the draft is over for a 1 year prove it deal, Probably the Cardinals because that seems random enough and they need a WR across from Fitz.
This is Texas…shoot means a shotgun is pulled
So… Where do Fez, Prez, and Pez end up.

‘future Patriot Cole Beasley’
Aww man, I’m gonna be sad if that happens.
But you’re right Dave, I can easily see that happening… if Brady’s still leading the Pats in the 2019 season.
Who wants to spend a ton of money on a possibly not-good-anymore WR? No one? I’m shocked!
I think the main reason teams are avoiding him is because he wants a lot of money but the production isn’t there all the time. And sure, even the best players have bad days, but Dez is obviously declining, and it doesn’t seem like he’s worth the money he wants. That’s one of the reasons the Cowboys cut him, because he was on a big contract. The Cowboys freed up 8 million in the cap after the release, so that allows for more potential signings.
Dez to the Giants won’t happen because Sheperd and OBJ should be good enough and pretty costly. Just won’t work without multiple paycuts.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I’m not surprised, he’s getting old and hurt. Bad mix.
just ask Arrington, cut after the injury plagued 2006 season. You know what follows…would be nice if that pattern repeats 😉
I will miss pez and prez Bryant the most
I think the Giants should pick him up. We don’t have to dump that much money into him considering he’s already on his later days. Plus they need to start building around Eli so that when they find the next Eli he’ll already have a solid supporting crew and a few vets to help them out
Yo Dave the reason he hasn’t been picked up is because the draft is in two days. Picking up Dez now makes your picks that much more obvious. Wait until after the draft, he’ll be scooped up quickly.
