Dez Bryant to Rams?

[SJ76]

If Rams wanted OBJ then Dez is a good consolation prize.

Man you are really butthurt over Suh leaving Detroit

What? If the Rams can't get OBJ you don't like the idea of getting Dez?

All of that sounds great. I still don't want a 30-something year old being the disciplinarian for Dez Bryant. It's as much about perception as anything else and that at least should be simple to understand...

You have to look at this both ways. Sure Dez can go off... but McVay is way better of an offensive mind than Garrett. Not sure the Rams will go after Dez but I have to think Dez would not be as frustrated under McVay

I just think it's dumb to write off Dez as a #2 WR. The guy is 29 years old and has been hurt off and on. Not sure what the deal is in Dallas but I think Dez has some good years left.

Maybe he's somewhere between a #1 and #2 but paired with the WRs we have I'd take him on 1-2 year deal for under 10 million per.

He's just a name at this point, guys hang around longer than they should because of name recognition, and not much else

You watch Dez play football, the seperation is gone, he can still get to a jump ball from to time, but his days as an impact WR are done, there are too many guys to list that are better than Dez Bryant now

2014 is his last season where he was much better than the average WR

Thats a lifetime ago in football years

Sorry I see stats comparable to Sammy Watkins and that's all we need from him. If it means a cheaper salary I'm all in. Rams gonna spread it around

Leadership isn't defined by age but character.

That is very cute and I am sure your mother had a big smile on her face when she told you that years ago (or maybe the other day!)

But if Dez becomes a Ram he will throw tantrums like he did before and who knows if a guy like Mcvay has the tools to deal with that. There is no question that Mcvay has a lot of ideas about running an offense but we have not yet seen him tested by someone like Dez and I think you should hope not to see that.

Thats fair, thats Woods' and Kupps' team now, as far as receiving

So we agree then.

Woods is another #1.5 WR and Kupp is on the move

Oh definitely on Woods, he isnt a true # 1, but he's better than Dez at this stage

Yahoo Sports' Jordan Schultz stated matter-of-factly that he anticipates the Cowboys will release Dez Bryant after the draft.

"The Cowboys will cut Dez Bryant, after the draft, but make no mistake -- they will cut him," Schultz tweeted Tuesday. As of two weeks ago, the Cowboys had reportedly yet to approach Bryant about taking a pay cut from the scheduled $12.5 million salary he's set to earn in 2018. But on Monday, EVP Stephen Jones said a talk with Bryant "still needs" to happen. The Cowboys recently added Allen Hurns and are apparently open to taking a receiver early in next month's draft. Bryant carries a $16.5 million cap number, and Dallas can clear $12.5 million by making him a post-June 1 cut. The 29-year-old would not struggle to find a new team. Dez Bryant may as well sign with the Rams like everyone else.

most overrated receiver in the game.

Dude Larry never dipped like he did, and wasn’t hurt good argument

2014 was the last time he was healthy enough to play 16 games until last year.

Yeah but he doesnt get rewarded for that, this is now a trend for an aging WR, youd be foolish to assume he will morph into something different in LA

Rams need something better than unproven Josh Reynolds, disappointment Tavon Austin, and returner Pharoh Cooper. Getting a released Dez on a cheaper contract would easily satisfy those requirements.

I agree, dont think its a bad get for a win now team like the Rams, at all

I was just really speaking to expectations, I still think Woods would still be the best WR on the roster as of now

He has time spent with Goff and was his favorite to date. Depends on who draws the double team really. Sammy served that purpose last year.
