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.
Damn you're old! LOL Catherine Bach was a total babe, though!

No way Loomis or Payton would sign Bryant over Thomas. Zero.
Agree to all other points.

Re: Dez Bryant coming for a workout

I just had the thought that maybe Brandon Marshall could actually be the more interesting piece. He is a huge receiver that can run block - he could be a role player at both tight end and wide receiver. We'd have to see that he still has something left in the tank and his head is right of course. Just a wild hunch but given our tendency to move Taysom at various spots and putting Kamara in the slot I can't rule it out.

I bet Dez would be a great blocker. Bring him in like a Dennis Rodman. Give him a token RZ target now and then. I could see it working out as much as I hate to say it.

He would be a fool not to I know that much. Latching on to a real SB contender. Rubbing it in Jerry's face if that goes down.

The Cows would be the least of my worries. They are a mess.

I'm more concerned about production against Carolina (twice), Pitt, Philly and the hated Falcons.

But circling back to my original post/question ... Saints & Dez would have to be on the same page as it relates to his role at WR in New Orleans & if he is willing to accept it in order to play for a legitimate contender. Anything to take off the pressure from Kamara & Thomas would be a positive.

Change could be good. It's working with Josh Gordon in NE.

I'll trust the process.
