He wouldn't be. Just like our 4th receivers weren't inactive last year. Again, there are enough valid reasons for not wanting a Dez return that people don't have to make things up.

Who was our fourth receiver active that didn't play special teams? Austin? He was our punt returner. Bryant? Played special teams. I'm not really getting what you're claiming. It's pretty widely known you need your fourth and fifth receiver on game day to play special teams from a numbers perspective.

Here are those actual numbers that you keep mentioning while clearly having no actual understanding of what they are:

Austin 9%
Wilson 5%

Nothing to factor into re-signing Bryant as the #4 receiver.

Cedric Wilson only played in 6 games. You do know that right?

And Austin was our punt returner. You know that as well right? So no Austin didn't play on the extra point squad, field goal block, punt team, kickoff team. But he literally returned almost every punt when he was healthy.

Again, they had special teams roles. What is Dez's going to be. You clearly have no idea how to conceptualize the numbers you cling to.

Dez would have none. And he doesn't need any. You clearly need to find better excuses for why you don't want him back because you've got nothing here.

I don't need to 'conceptualize' or more accurately distort anything. The numbers show that it's a non-factor. 5 and 6 receivers can handle those minimal snaps.

So now you're keeping 6 recievers active every week? That means you have to go short elsewhere. Which usually means you go short on the Oline which also impacts special teams.

Any way you put it having a fourth receiver who doesn't play special teams on gameday handicaps your roster. Of course you can do it. But it impacts things far more than you seem to comprehend. You're living in the past with Dez. And if we're going to live in the past with Dez he was a pretty killer punt returner at the begining of his career too. But we both know he isn't the same player.
 
Dez isn’t coming back, so you boys can save your energy.

you're forgetting that Jerry is a doddering, sentimental idiot who waited for Romo to come back all during Dak's rookie season. still pining for Jason, too.

It's called roster management.

Far less than you choose to admit. That's why you ignore the actual numbers for the ones in your head.

That might actually be a valid argument. And one which can be easily proven or disproven by giving him a workout or an invite to camp. If as you suggest, he's not the same player and shows he can't help them? Cut him. No questions asked from me.

I don't think they need to. They know what he had left in the tank when they cut him.
 
yet no one is creating a fiction. Every receiver on the roster below Amari, Gallup and Cobb plays on STs, and he should be expected to as well. Why would you exempt him? That's ridiculous. And besides, if we want to waste roster spots, we already have Noah Brown as our fake TE.
 
Jerry Jones won't rule out WR Dez Bryant returning to Cowboys

Noah Brown is a never was. And I showed just how much ‘special teams’ all of them played. Non factor.

Whew. Thank God we have Will McClay.

I don't think that would necessarily make it a bad draft. That was 5 years ago, everyone will be on second contracts. It's not really McClays fault that Byron Jones is too expensive for example.

Chaz Green and Randy Gregory are the whiffs that really hurt that draft. Mostly Gregory because of weed. He was pretty good when he played.
