I think even if it doesn't end up working out from a football standpoint, if you went and picked up Dez it could be a hell of a morale boost. It could be worth it for that reason alone.
My doubts wouldn't be with Watson, they'd be with Dez being a crybaby due to not being the #1 option. Part of his problem in Dallas is that he thinks he should get all the targets despite the fact that he had 132 targets last season to produce only 838 yards which is very similar to when BOB had to tell Andre Johnson that he was washed up and wouldn't be getting the same number of targets anymore after a season where he produced only 936 yards on 146 targets. Nuk is straight up going to get something like 170+ targets if he's healthy all season and that might mean that the next targeted receiver only gets maybe 100 or so targets.....and that might not be Dez. If he's not okay with getting significantly fewer targets, Houston would be a bad fit for him.
That’s big. If Hopkins is ok with it then I am. Hopkins gets thrown to the most. If he complains about touches (which I don’t think he’s ever really done) then that’s a problem.
Within minutes, heard from 3 NFL personnel guys who said the market will be aggressive for Dez. Cowboys may think he doesn't fit what they want to do but there will be an abundance of NFL teams who would love to get Dez for the right price. Money could be the deal breaker. He's trying to get the money he was scheduled to make in Dallas. These are people who made it sound like there will be an aggressive market. You look at the history of a team like Washington. This is a move they'd probably love to make. They just got Alex Smith, to get him a big red zone WR. This is a team that'll be immediately connected to the situation. I haven't heard specifics that Washington is a team that'll go after him but a Daniel Snyder type move if they do pursue. Cowboys felt it was time to move on. ... He may not be unemployed by the draft. ... If you're the Packers, you lose Nelson + Rodgers, he can be highly productive & make that money back. I don't think teams will get crazy but with incentives, Dez could get up there to what he was scheduled to make in Dallas. Based on the calls I got, it sounds like this could happen quickly unless Dez is holding out for significant money. Per NFLPA report... Browns $68M Colts $59M 49ers $46M Titans $35M Texans $34M Bears $24M Jets $19M Jaguars $18M Cardinals $18M Redskins $17M Vikings $17M Packers $16M Bengals $16M Bills $15M Patriots $13M Bucs $12M Broncos $10M Ravens $10M Lions $9M
We're not gonna win anything special with our owner and front office anyways, so we might as well be interesting pay daz
________________________ http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...ial-landing-spots-for-excowboys-wr-dez-bryant Dez Bryant is done in Dallas, putting the three-time Pro Bowler on the open market less than two weeks before the NFL Draft. At 29 years old, Bryant's play has declined precipitously, and he hasn't cleared 900 receiving yards in the past three seasons. Despite the drop in production and persistent questions over the years about his sideline demeanor, Bryant should find a healthy market, for the right price. Let's dive into 10 hypothetical landing spots where the ex-Cowboys receiver could be throwing up the X in 2018: 1. Washington Redskins Never underestimate rivalry. Surely the Redskins would love to snag their division opponent's former top target and deploy him twice a year against Dallas. Bryant could revel in facing the team that cut him to try and prove it was the wrong decision. It wouldn't be a surprise if Dan Snyder opens the pocketbook to offer Dez the most money on the open market. Oh, and how fun would it be for former enemies, Bryant and Josh Norman, to hook up with the same team? 2. San Francisco 49ers Dez's best attribute at this stage of his career is his red-zone acumen. Too often last season once Jimmy Garoppolo took over, San Francisco stalled in scoring position. The 49ers could use a big touchdown target for Jimmy G, which makes San Francisco a logical landing spot for Bryant, on paper. Deploying Bryant alongside Pierre Garcon, Marquise Goodwin and Trent Taylor would give Kyle Shanahan flexible chess pieces to play with. 3. Baltimore Ravens Ozzie Newsome already added Michael Crabtree and John Brown to his receiving corps, but signing Bryant would provide pop for Joe Flacco. Breshad Perriman's injury history necessitates the Ravens continue to search for depth. Dez would bring more than that. He would provide a red zone combination alongside Crabtree that would make life immensely easier for Flacco. 4. Houston Texans The Texans snagging a star player from their in-state rival would be icing on the cake. Bryant heading to Houston would also make on-field sense. Playing alongside DeAndre Hopkins would take pressure off Bryant and allow him more one-on-one matchup on the opposite side. Imagine trying to defend Hopkins and Bryant in the end zone. It would also buffer the options for young quarterback Deshaun Watson. After upgrading the defense with one star castoff, Tyrann Mathieu, Houston could add another in Bryant. 5. Seattle Seahawks Adding a player like Bryant would further the Seahawks' attempt to remake their roster in Russell Wilson's image. Dez could fit alongside slot receiver Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett as Wilson's primary targets. Bryant's red zone acumen would also make up for the loss of tight end Jimmy Graham. We know Pete Carroll doesn't shy away from adding big personalities to his locker room. 6. Arizona Cardinals The Cardinals might not be an obvious landing spot but Arizona still has a need at receiver. The main reason I want the Cards on this list is for the possibility of Bryant working with Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzy magnificently stiff-armed father time morphing his game as he aged. It's something many analysts have said Dez needs to do as he reaches 30. Fitzgerald has even been mentioned as an example Bryant needs to follow. What if he could work every day with the master himself? 7. Jacksonville Jaguars The Jags let Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns walk away in free agency, deciding to ride younger players Dede Westbrook and Keelan Cole and give Donte Moncrief a surprising contract. On paper, adding Bryant would boost the underneath game for Blake Bortles and provide a red zone target for a team that relies heavily on Leonard Fournette near the goal line. 8. New York Giants Signing Bryant doesn't feel like a Dave Gettleman move, but swapping Brandon Marshall for Dez would be an upgrade alongside Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard. Adding Bryant would further signify the Giants intentions to try to pry open the Eli Manning era. There's also that in-division rivalry aspect to keep in mind for both sides. 9. Carolina Panthers The Panthers attempted to get faster at receiver last season by trading away Kelvin Benjamin to mixed results. Importing Bryant would halt that plan, but provide Cam Newton a big-bodied pass-catcher to snag his high throws. New GM Marty Hurney feels more likely to take a risk on importing a personality like Bryant than his predecessor, Gettleman. Also, the Panthers host the Cowboys in 2018, if, you know, Dez needs that revenge factor. 10. New England Patriots It's written in stone on The Internet Sports Writing Ten Commandments tablets that every big-name player must be linked to the Patriots. Does New England need to add another receiver to their glut of pass-catchers? No. Does Bryant's personality seem to fit with the Patriot Way? Not really. Would Bill Belichick pay the kind of money it could take to lure Dez to Foxborough? Unlikely. Does any of that matter when we are conjuring up connect-the-dot reasons a player might sign with one of 31 franchises? Nope.
The best weapon for Deshawn would be to get rid of the FATT and let him run the team You know I am almost always right
