Dez Bryant Signing With Saints

st thomas · 11-07-2018, 10:14 AM

All I recall of him is yes he was a beast in the red zone and possession receiver ala MT but I can’t shake the tantrums on the sidelines and in the red heads face on tv . We no what happened to the great AP after that stare down they have to lay the law down on this guy put him in between mark and kamara?

Wondering if we made Dez an offer a while back. I bet we did. He was likely waiting on who was going to be a strong contender. I'm speculating but he had other offers so he was holding out for a reason.

Over the years Sean Payton has always allowed room on his roster for one or two "head cases" or "difficult" players every year -- guys who maybe have the big egos or the checkered past histories (remember Shockey, anybody?). But Payton doesn't EVER let the inmates run the asylum, or allow them to become a distraction, and if the player ever becomes a problem, or if his head case issues become too much to deal with, or if Payton feels that football on the field isn't really the #1 thing for the guy, then the door is right over thataway (love ya, Reggie, and best of luck in Miami). Dez will understand all this clearly, it will be stated up front, or else he won't even be given an offer by the Saints.

Payton handles things with the occasional diva and/or player egos, in much the same way that Belichick handles egos on his teams. Think about a guy like Randy Moss, who is vocal and moody and often critical of his teammates, had attitude problems and played inconsistently on other teams. Moss has always done his share of gimme-the-ball whining and complaining, but he was always well behaved and productive/positive, during his time with the Patriots.

As long as Dez doesn't show up in the police reports as being arrested in the champagne room at the club or hanging out with the usual suspects at Republic at 3 AM, I think it's a great potential short term signing.

Say what you want, but for the rest of the year our offense just got even better!

That's what I'm thinking a 6'2 target for Drew on a well Coached Team with great integrity.

Also, yes he had some issues earlier in his career but he is not Terrell Owens ffs. We have structure in this organization vs Dallas who has a owner who wants o play coach as well. On this ship, it Sean's way or no way. I am not anticipating any behavioral issues, especially this year. He wants to get payed, so he is gonna be a quire boy for now at least.

If he helps this team, great move. If he comes in and divides the locker room along with throwing his typical hissy fits on the sideline, this could be a mild disaster.
