Hard pass on Brandon Marshall.

I think you’ll see Thomas in the slot way more. Dez doesn’t move around well. He’s an outside receiver. Slants. Back shoulder fades. Jump balls. That’s Dez.

You’re right Rez. MT has taken a lot of snaps from the slot this season and he’s doing lots of damage there. It’ll allow more flexibility.

Brandon Marshall coming in too
Sounds like they want a big body red zone threat

Another strong big body could make this offense UNSTOPPABLE!

Insurance policy. A bad attitude redirected to winning a SB is a good thing. There would be no more drama.

I don't think the other WR's are doing badly. I just truly think nobody can guard Mike. I mean, I would look at Mike, Kamara and old man Watson until somebody stopped them. Every team wishes they had three options like that.

Have you seen much of his play the last couple of years? All I see is a guy who has a very limited route tree, whose ability to create separation has severely diminished. He was never a fast guy, but he's even slower now. He doesn't consistently win 50-50 balls anymore, which was one of his strengths in his prime.

This is a guy who hasn't been able to secure a job, despite so many teams around the league needing receivers. He's had a handful of workouts with some of those very same teams and nothing has come of it. Most guys in his position get jobs, or at least training camp invites on their reputation alone. The fact that he hasn't is, to me, very telling.

I feel like it was more of the QB he was playing with. Dak Prescott is a very pedestrian QB.
