Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Looking forward to his addition. Like that its a 1 year term so he can prove himself. Hope it turns out to be a solid signing that improves the team!

Da Man wants Da Ring...

Considering the talking heads' standard (gotta have a couple of rings), if it works out as planned, Dez can go out as one of the greats.

Considering how Brees is playing, most receivers would give their left nut to play for the Saints.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Question for the forum ...

Who gets cut ? Carr? Does Meredith move to IR? Or possibly an O lineman?

I know it's Wednesday but any chance we see Dez play on Sunday?

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

We just went from solid to dangerous on offense. We are going to be hell to stop from here on out and advance props to any team that can do it. Welcome aboard Dez. The #9 train bound for Atlanta just put more wood on the fire!

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

One cool thing about the signing is the Cowboys still have $8,000,000 in dead money from Dez's contract. So when the Saints go to Dallas it'll be nice knowing that 4.3% of their salary cap is standing on the Saints sideline.

There's not enough meh in the whole world to describe how I feel about this move. Hope it works out, not expecting it will.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

The league just ****ed up letting us sign Dez Bryant.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Noted. $1 says he plays beyond your expectations.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Just in time for division and conference games too.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

I'm too broke to be a betting man, but I hope you're right.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Great signing. Legit option on 3rd down and big red zone threat.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

I won't force you to mail me the $1. :p

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

What will teams do inside the 20 when we line up with Thomas and Watson and Kamara/Ingram and Dez? Whew!!!

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Liking the sound of that!

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Dez will be helpful even if he's primarily a decoy. Most defenses are at least attempting to bracket both Kamara and Thomas and inviting Brees to throw the ball somewhere else. You can use the throw in the Rams game to Dan Arnold as an example. Dez will force a change in coverage that will likely open up more opportunities for any one of Kamara, Thomas, or T. Smith.

11 personnel for Brees is now Kamara/Ingram, Watson/J. Hill/T. Hill, Thomas, T. Smith, and Dez. And yes I believe that Dez is last on this list. Couple that with both the best QB in the business and the best O-line in the league, and I see a lot of helpless defenses down the stretch. The only weakness in the entire setup is that T. Hill has not yet proven that he can catch the ball. This is based on his drop on Sunday.

If Dez (still has a high skill set) is your 3rd or even 4th option ...

Kind of hard for me to complain about that as a Saints fan.

The #Saints would like to see Dez Bryant get down about 5 more lbs but liked what they saw at workout. He’s been training w WR coach David Robinson working on his hip flexibility, foot quickness in short area spaces, intermediate route running and attacking routes harder

I'm on board with the "hope it works out" mentality. It's low risk for sure and worth the gamble. If it does then the Saints FO look like geniuses and if it doesn't it cost us next to nothing as an experiment. So I'll chalk it up to worthy of a try with no downside. We have a strong leadership base and locker room.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Sean Payton has started to draw plays up on cocktail napkins again.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Now that's it done, what I can tell you is that the Saints vetted Dez Bryant hard months ago. Was told team cleared it through some players. They even asked Jason Witten and Tony Romo for their thoughts. He's been on the radar. Payton loves him.

Not a bad gig; first day on the job and your 7-1.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Hopefully Dez is matched up against safeties & #2 corners in the slot (played a bit back in 2016) . I'm not looking for him to be great, however defenses needs to know he's there and will command attention. Or maybe SP swaps him on the outside from time to time.

Having Mike, AK, Tre & now Dez on the field at the same time ... that could be a tall order for defenses to diagnose.

Can't wait to see how this unfolds on offense.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Agreed. I read today the Rams doubled 41 and 13 AT THE SAME TIME. What does that say about defenses respect for our other receiving options? You Payton saw it and I applaud him for making this move.

Don’t expect it to happen for at least 2-3 games but Dez will make an impact and eventually a multi score game

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Dang. The Rams double up on 13 and 41 and they still get 211 and 34 yards respectively. And I thought our DBs had coverage issues.

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Hey money doesn’t buy championships Heart does that. That loss will affect that defense maybe not this week but down the road in another high stakes game suh and crew will let up and that’s when u punch um out the playoffs

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

Dez is looking for his ring and that’s all; plus the Cowboys are still paying him 8 mil this year I believe

Re: Saints sign Dez Bryant
 

The Cowgirls are not paying Dez any additional money. Dez cost $8 million against the Dallas cap this year, and I believe next year too. That's because the deal he signed in 2015 effectively had $40+ million in guaranteed money over a 5 year deal. Dez already has all that money in the bank. But Dallas had to spread those dollars over the 5 years of the deal, making the cap hit effectively $8 million a year whether or not Dez is on the squad. I presume that Dez was a post June 1st cut and as such his remaining cap hit was spread over 2 years.

This is why it wasn't about the money. Dez already has his money. If I were him, I'd be going for the ring too. Imagine how much he'd be worth when the Saints make it to the SB and he generates a TD catch or two on the way to winning.

Absolutely.

Your career don't mean a thing if you ain't got that ring.
