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.

You'll get no argument from me on your assessment of Dak. But I look at a guy like DeAndre Hopkins, who had complete and utter garbage QB's for years, and was routinely double covered because he was the only legitimate threat on the field. He still put up great numbers year after year. I know Dez is older, but his decline started when he should have still been in his prime.

I'm not saying I won't root for him if he is signed, but I personally think he's done.

He’ll get 1 on 1 coverage here and it’ll likely be against CB2’s and CB3’s. He’s going to kill their asses on those slants and back shoulder fades. Great for the red zone. I’m optimistic. We don’t need him of course. He’s just another weapon. We can’t pretend like he isn’t better than Carr or Meredith.

Plus we can't continue to overuse AK41 and 13 much more. Too important later in the season when we face division opponents in 4 of 6 games.

It took less than a season for Prescott to fade away
