I would at least give Dez a competitive offer to try to bring him here.

40% of Dez’s targets were uncatchable last year..for anyone who wants to argue he’s not good anymore.

Hasn't had a 1,000 yard receiving season since 2014 when Romo was his QB.

I can’t tell if you’re agreeing that it’s on Dak or if you’re saying Dez is washed because he hasn’t had a 1k season since 2014...

Bryant wants to stay in the division but how likely is that. Is he so upset he will sign for the vet minimum in Philly? Idk if the Giants even consider him..OBJ and Dez on the same team...oh boy. Redskins seems like the likely landing spot.

The Ravens best bet is to convince him to sit down and that success is the best revenge and then work the he doesn't leave the building magic

A motivated Dez out to prove himself could do the same things for our offense that Boldin did. I'd happily take him. A WR corp or Dez, Crabtree, John Brown, and (insert draft pick) would be pretty nice.

I would suspect of those four teams, it would be between us and more likely Green Bay. I cannot imagine he wants to go play with a rookie QB in Buffalo and AZ likely doesn't have the money.

Four teams that some believe could show varying levels of interest in free-agent WR Dez Bryant: *Arizona - Issue is little money left. *Baltimore - Room even with Michael Crabtree. *Buffalo - Wouldn’t be NFC East, but AFC East. *Green Bay - A replacement for Jordy Nelson.

The key word in his tweet is "could." I'll wait until the draft is over to see if our interest would be legit or not.

Wouldn't that be ironic if he played in GB? Given "the catch or not to catch" and the number of times the Packers have played against DAL in recent times, that'd be hilarious, but cool at the same time to see him catching passes from the baddest man on the planet.

If we get Dez, then to me, the obvious answer is to get McGlinchey in the first. He can play RT, Hurst can go back to LG. Slide Lewis to RG and have Yanda play center. That line with Collins and Dixon, plus the remodeled receiving corps could be an above average offense. At that point it would be on Marty and Flacco. I truly believe Flacco has given no data to indicate he can turn it around, but I think a little bit of talent like that could excite him enough to get him going again. Not like the superbowl run, but better than the last 2 years.

Dez isnt that good of a route runner plus he will cost. He gonna be even more frustrated when flacco dont throw him
Accurate balls nor sees him when he is wide open. there are wrs that we can get in later rounds that can perform the same way dez can.

I feel like every year we say we can pluck someone from the later rounds but it never works out for WR. Specifically, we struggle to find WR's that can actually catch, something that Dez can do and the stats are not his fault, yet are more because of Dak.

He won't cost as much as some think he will. He was apparently fully willing to take a pay cut in Dallas, but they never even offered that before cutting him.

at this point, according to the skins reporters, Dez is not on their radar. I seem to think Snyder must be chomping at the bit.

Considering that we have exactly Crabtree and nothing else out of all our WRs and TEs....well, we better have a damn good plan if we don't intend on doing something drastic to make room for Dez.

Brown might have injury issues, but when healthy he's a huge upgrade over Wallace. So if he doesn't get injured, I wouldn't say we have nothing. And Moore isn't bad as a WR3.

I am sure we are at least making a call to his agent, I don't think it is going to take too long for Dez to find a place though. No reason for teams to wait to sign him.
