I'd almost be inclined if it weren't so clear that they were just tired of him in the locker room.

Well, who was tired of him?
Witten, Garrett, Terrence Williams, and Cole Beasley.
None of which are here anymore.
If McCarthy was willing to give him a chance then why not try it?

Yeah, I think I would be willing to give it a shot. I mean, the price would have to be right, but he could bring yet another dynamic to this WR core.

Would Dez Bryant carry Amari’s pads during practice?

I think it was more than just that. I think his position coach (granted, he's not here any more either), and also Stephen Jones was on board.
Yeah, I mean, the entire staff has been cleaned out, but my point isn't that it was a simple personality conflict. I think they decided in general his attitude was no longer worth his production. That's not something that gets fixed just because a new staff is brought in.

Being a guy desperate to make a comeback on a 1-year deal with no guarantees can do wonders for that attitude. Given his potential to be even a shadow of his former self I'd say 'sure' but the first time he fucked around and acted like he was still king shit, I'd have someone clean out his locker for him and have his shit in a cardboard box waiting for him when he showed up the next day.

We have enough talent on offense. I can't think of a single reason why it would be a good idea to bring him back.

Nor can I. He never really learned the playbook and the routes he ran he wouldn’t get open. His last two years with Dallas were pretty bad with dropped passes and constant complaining. Does anyone think he has spent the last couple of years learning to be a disciplined reciever?

One great play, or one bad injury.

Yeah loved the guy in his prime but I really don't think he has the talent left. Plus his personality could be explosive and we don't need that in the locker room.

If we get desperate I'm sure he'll be sitting at home waiting by the phone. He doesn't need to be on the roster in the meantime.

The only thing I miss about him is his redzone ability but Dez and Dak have never had a good connection throwing the ball.

True, but that was also because Dak was awful at throwing the fade or the back shoulder pass in the endzone.
I'd like to think he'd be better at it now, but he never really gave Dez a chance on those plays because they were either too low, had too much velocity, too flat, etc.
He just couldn't throw the thing.
