Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah maybe I was thinking it was higher. I guess I was just pointing out that Williams sort of sucks. Witten has one more year on his deal right? You think he for sure signs a new deal? He is basically a non threat these days. A blocker who can catch a curl pass. You could not be more wrong on Williams if you tried.. No he doesn't sort of suck - he TOTALLY sucks! I can't stand Williams, he's a tick smarter than the water jug.. As far as football, Williams is the master of making the impossible catch look easy - and the bread basket catch look hard Nobody drops more right-in-the-numbers balls than that clown... But he is what he is - and we're stuck with him now, so.. ........ Witten? Omg, thank Gawd for Witten. He is still about as sure handed as they come, regardless of the few drops he had last year... At 34 years of age, Witten had 69 catches last year, the year before, 77.. #82 is still finding holes in zones and is still moving the chains - he's still got some game left.. But yes, I do think he plays thru 2018, especially if he avoids injury this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 17, 2017 TE or WR in the 1st 3? Oh Gawd no - unless Howard falls or some crazy talented WR that we just can't pass on... Trust me, I would love to have a WR with some speed on this team - but that position is down the list of urgent needs. Dez, Williams, Butler and Beasley are all signed and coming back.. But speaking of T-Williams, are you kidding? As much as I don't like him - we got a very favorable deal on that... 4 years, only $9m guaranteed, when others are getting upwards of $11m a year? That's a bargain... And yes, we do need to find a TE - but it's not urgent. Witten is not retiring this year or next, and Escobar sucked anyways. What we really need is a blocking TE - but you don't go drafting those in the top rounds... We do have a project TE that the staff and Jerry seem to love - Rico Gahters.... Gathers was a basketball standout at Baylor, and he goes 6'7" and 275 lbs... I think they will try and get him on the roster and field this year. Terrence Williams is average at absolute best. A minimum contract receiver would have been a MUCH better value for the team. I don't get the infatuation with such a mediocre talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 17, 2017 They're picking at the back of the draft this time. And it's not supposed to be a great draft. They had to have cleared some money losing all these guys. Probabaly waiting on some bargains. Hope they don't scoop up Hankins. I hope that you have a typo in there. More like there are 4 positions that are very deep this year, and Dallas needs players in 3 of those positions. I love how every year is a bad year for talent. Someone has to say it every single year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get the infatuation with such a mediocre talent. Possibly.. But the offense is this team right now - as such, we have to devote everything reasonable into making it elite.. As much of a clown as Williams is, he knows the system - he knows Dak. A rookie is better long term, but not better for right now... And at only $9m guaranteed - he's an easy cut.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 17, 2017 No typo. Draft ie weak at OL, CB and QB. The three most sought after spots. Deep at RB. It's deep at CB... there are safeties that may be able to be converted to CB too. So it's weak at OL and QB, must mean it's a weak class? I guess every year we just chalk up a class as weak because there aren't 5 deep HOF studs at each position.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,585 Posted March 20, 2017 Drama Queen update When asked about returning for the 2017 season, Ben Roethlisberger said, "I'm leaning toward it." Roethlisberger hinted at retirement after losing to New England in the AFC Championship, but nobody ever bought it. From overselling his injuries to retirement contemplations, Roethlisberger has always had a drama-queen streak. Big Ben is owed $46 million over the final three years of his deal. It would be an absolute stunner if the 35-year-old decided to hang up his cleats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 28, 2017 Witten has one more year. That is a big number on their cap. I will not be surprised to see that contract reworked and extended - thru 2018. Especially if $$ is needed to land somebody. Looks like this is exactly what happened..... Witten has been extended a new 4-year deal. I don't have the specifics, but undoubtedly this will free up cap space and keep #82 around for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen2me 23 1,542 Posted March 28, 2017 Good call. I still believe the Cowboys could use a WR or TE. Maybe not with their 1st rounder (but would not be surprised) but 2nd or 3rd. Very good TE class. When Dez gets hurt a matchup problem at TE or just another capable WR would come in handy. At some point they will have to address weapons for Dak as what they have now is fairly weak, injury prone, or just plain old. OJ Howard will be gone. The TE from the U may or may not be there. But in a nice TE draft he isn't OJ Howard and there will be guys there in the 2nd round. Corey Davis, I have seen some mocks having him drop to here. He hasn't been able to work out for anyone and some think that may drop him down. John Ross I assume he is gone by their pick. So really for where they pick a TE or WR may not be value as all of those guys may be off the board and there are a lot of options on defense. I would be surprised to see them go Defense, Defense, Defense. I'm sure JJ would like to add some youth and help for his new, young, face of the franchise that he didn't know he had at this time last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this team would be more on the lookout for a TE before WR... Especially if they are a blocking one too... For sure if Witten ever got hurt, we'd be focked. I guess being at the bottom of the draft, you kind of take a wait-and-see approach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
