Dez Bryant coming for a workout

Love the cheating the cap and cap hell come. Ts
They realise that as it stands we have over 100ml plenty of cap in the coming years. Though plenty of players to pay

Heard something about broken finger?

Yeah he went out with his finger bent in the wrong direction; not sure how long or if he will be able to come back...

I thought it was just dislocated, but I’m not a doctor

So much to consider and talk about with this opportunity.

If you are a defense - How do you cover Bryant and Thomas, much less with Kamara on the field.

If you are Drew Brees - Welp.. Christmas. A double prom date with Linda Carter and Catherine Bach.

If you are Thomas - Dies this push you harder or chip away at your soul knowing that Loomis could have a second legit #1 receiver option when you are negotiating your contract?

If you are Sean Payton - Do you risk the drama might bring when your offense is firing on all cylinders, and your locker room is stable?

Lots to gnaw on.

He can play with a dislocated finger. He can play with a broken one too if he wanted. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s possible.

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.

Something to consider and assuming all of that is true.. Is he an upgrade at a present position or does he provide depth at a shallow position? If so then you would be doing your self an injustice to not try and reach a team favorable deal.

This is entirely a 'this is our year and could he make us better now' choice; which requires a different approach than 'how do we get better in the future' choice.

No one is wearing #88 on our roster. Just saying.

Dez Bryant in black and gold ?... interesting.

Does he leave his drama antics up here in Dallas? Is he willing to accept a smaller role (#3) with the Saints? Does he hurt (became a distraction in D) team chemistry? How quickly can he grasp the playbook ? How would he respond to 1 or 2 targets a game? He'd have to be crystal clear on his role with the NO Saints.

My question to posters here is why is Mr. Bryant still sitting on the couch in November ?

Due diligence from the Saints front office.
