Allen Hurns signs with the Cowboys

Mixed feelings about this. I would hope they don't do something dumb like think he is a WR1 and dump Bryant.

How about if they draft someone like Chark in the 2nd or Hamilton in the 3rd then cut Dez?

I think I'd hold on to Dez for another year and see if he can recapture any magic, and because I think Hurns/Williams/rookie/Thompson/Beasley/Switzer with slow ass Witten isn't quite formidable enough, but if they were to cut him after spending a 2nd or 3rd on a WR I'd understand.

That's how I feel about it.

But if not, there seems to be too many bodies.

I'd think ideally he replaces Williams, but we just signed him long term last off-season. Still could do it I guess.

 

[Cotton]

Looks like 6 mill per.

Yeah even if you cut Brown that's still 6 WRs all of which are veterans except Switzer. Which means a year from now you're probably in really bad shape at the position with no youth coming up. I'd rather draft someone and cut Dez. You can't have 5 veteran recievers and then a utility guy like Switzer.

So do we still keep Dez, Beasley and Terrance? Certainly we can't keep this many veteran WRs.

I hope we keep them all and draft a couple. Fight it out in camp and let's go with who steps the fuck up.

 

[mcnuttz]

Two of those plays were out of the slot, I'm telling you this guy may eat into Beasley's snaps way more than Dez or Williams.

He's arguably the best route runner on the team honestly, if you consider that Beasley isn't really a threat outside of 10 yards.

Is there any chance at all that Beasley could be traded? I don't understand shit about contracts, so it's an honest question.

We have a younger version in Switzer and there's younger QBs who could benefit from teh Beasley crisp routes inside the 10.

 

[BipolarFuk]

If he signed for 6 million per, then someone is gone.

Beasley contractually could be traded. Just not sure anyone would want him bad enough. He would make a perfect Patriot.

Dez saves 8.5 against the cap.

So um just saying. Of course Beasley would clear some room too.

I was talking about Beasley though.

 

[mcnuttz]

More.

Yeah I meant Beasley

 

[Cotton]

I thought Beasley was going to be gone. Not like he makes a ton, but wasn't the talk at the end of the season that cutting him would save a couple/few million?

Still think Steve and Jerry decided to keep Dez when they saw what that first wave of free agent WRs got.

I think that's playing with fire though.

I don't think Hurns is a #1, and rookie WRs bust at a fairly high rate, even highly drafted ones.

If we put a lot of eggs in that basket but then draft the next Limas Sweed or Nelson Agahlor we've outsmarted ourselves and become worse in the process.

They need to be rid of Williams' contract though. He is far more useless

I'm not sure we need or really want a real number 1 WR. Look what a team like the Rams did last year. I think that's more what we want to do. Spread the ball around and be a mostly run oriented team. Better off with three #2's that are all happy to see the ball when they do.
