Dez wants to play for the Giants

nygfaninorlando : 4/17/2018 11:07 am
Article is on profootballtalk.com. For what it's worth, says Bryant would take less money to play for the Giants and the opportunity with Odell, Eli, etc. Will he play for the league minimum to get a chance to play the Cowboys twice a year? That's the big question. I don't see the Giants offering much more than league minimum and not sure they would want the potential distraction but with DG being the new sheriff in town, you never know. I do think Dez has more left in the tank and would be a better compliment then Brandon Marshall. Also think an offense of Odell, Dez, Shepard, Engram, Barkley with a revamped OL would do some serious damage.

I wouldn't say that.

Dez Bryant isn't just a WR. He represents everything about the Cowboys that I hate. Overrated, showboating loudmouth.

Pass.
at the right price....incentive laden...sure

If he could take over Marshall's contract...  
jogo1 : 4/17/2018 11:25 am : link
he would at least be an upgrade there. But it'd be yet another offseason of hype surrounding the Giants' receiving weapons while the OL and running game remain a huge question mark at best.

Um, Wade Boggs helped the Yankees win a World Series. I don't think that's the analogy you'd want to go with.

I don't care that he was a Cowboy. I just don't think he's particularly good anymore.
will take him if he took Marshalls money

Yankees would've been fine without Boggs or Clemens.

I never stopped hating Clemens.

Keith : 4/17/2018 11:30 am : link
Seriously though, I'd consider him on a 1 year prove it deal for BM's money. I think he still has gas in the tank, hes a great red zone threat as well, but he'd have to understand that his number won't be called nearly as much as hes used to. I cannot imagine a scenario in which he would come here under those circumstances though and I'd still have to think long and hard, but his desire to stick it to Dallas has me intrigued.
I think he's got  
Metnut : 4/17/2018 11:30 am : link
a lot more in the tank than Marshall. The Giants should take a look. Our WR (and offense) were horrific last year and we can't just rely on Beckham to bail us out of games all of the time.
People also need to understand why our offense  
Keith : 4/17/2018 11:32 am : link
has been so horrific. IMO, the two main culprits are the OL and Eli. Eli cannot navigate a pocket like he used to and with this putrid OL, he needs to. No WR(outside of OBJ) will look good in this offense. Engram and Shep are fantastic complimentary WR's and I'm excited to see what they do with OBJ and hopefully a decent OL.
Brandon Marshall vs. Dez Bryant  
ChicagoGiant : 4/17/2018 11:34 am : link
Dez is a Cowboy through and through BUT I would take almost anyone over alligator arms Marshall. Last year he looked like he did not want to get hit/hurt and did not put his body out there for a pass. Dez is not exciting to me but over Marshall HELL YES. Pick your poison and a motivated Dez is 10X better than Marshall.

Oh - Only a 1 year deal! No way multi-year that is a deal killer for me. One & Done please
Pride aside  
Svengali : 4/17/2018 11:35 am : link
I think he’s still a better then average WR and has some size.

I loved having Boggs on the 1996 Yanks. His bases loaded walk in Game 4 was one of the best at-bats I have ever seen.
Dez  
MotownGIANTS : 4/17/2018 11:40 am : link
at league minimum for 1 yr /w 2 yr player and team option at minimum is a no brainer ... he has enough left to be a #2 easy. especially with Barkley at RB.

actual Giant fans want them to win football games.

If he is available at a near minimum price he is a definite upgrade to what we have in Brandon Marshall who is making much more than the minimum. I vote Yes under those limited circumstances.

I remember that at bat. Those teams wore pitchers out. Boggs was a key part of that, I am am glad I got to see play regularly. HoF and true professional at the stadium.
It's funny that the qualities in Dez

that are being trashed are pretty much the same that are admired or tolerated in Odell. Imo, actual Giants fans would love him if he played well, hate him otherwise.

FatMan in Charlotte : 4/17/2018 12:05 pm : link
since I was more disappointed in the way a giant looked on the field than Marshall. Probably have to go all the way back to Brian Mitchell.

He looked like he absolutely didn't want to be on the field and in his limited opportunities, he did squat.
If he's an upgrade over Marshall for cheaper, I'd take him in a minute  
mikeinbloomfield : 4/17/2018 12:15 pm : link
All I want is the Giants to win. This isn't life and death.

Plus, he seems extremely motivated to go off against a good team in our division.

Roger Clemens pitching for the Yankees?

Fishmanjim57 : 4/17/2018 12:17 pm : link
Marshall needs to go, so replacing Marshall with Bryant will be a big upgrade. Shurmer may have a better WR group than McAdoo had with those guys, but it may be a problem with their huge egos.
A huge no!!!  
Ira : 4/17/2018 12:23 pm : link
For the last three years, Bryant's catch % has been around 50%. That's very bad. If we cut Marshall we need someone better opposite Beckham.

TMS : 4/17/2018 12:39 pm : link
with OBJ and in getting open one on one. Tough, tenacious guy on a mission . Just what we need to get back on track. Curious about what DG thinks on this offer. Talk about long ball threats with those two out there and Barkley, Shepard, Engram underneath. Exciting just thinking about it, if we can get our OL back on track. Can only double cover so many guys. Eli with time will destroy most defenses with those weapons. IMO.

yikes closet Dez fan boy here? the last time i saw those hands "catch" anything it was back in 2014 and iirc that wasnt quite a catch... At vet minimum, as a upgrade over B marsh with something to prove? I absolutely would do it.

But the way you describe him we would be signing 2013-2014 Dez at a premium, not the slower, older, beat up 2018 version.
What is there not to like  
joeinpa : 4/17/2018 12:45 pm : link
about him catching a winning touchdown pass in Giants Blue at Cowboy Stadium.

For some guys it s about personalities, for others like me it s about the uniform. Dez becomes a Giants, I root for him.

Dead wrong. Dez is a putz on and off the field. Odell has had a hand full of on field antics. Hi off field stuff is negligible, Even the Paris thing wasn't him and never seemed to move the needle. So he got some tail and she put it out there. Odell isn't Mother Theresa but he certainly isn't Dez.

It's crazy how many people here want Dez Bryant after all the fucking media nonsense we deal with w/ Beckham.

If you guys think it's unbearable now, adding Dez into the mix would be a million times worse.

It's great that he wants to stick it to the Cowboys - I hate that fucking team more than any team in the league. But we also play 14 other games that are really important.
I think Dez would be a great addition.  
Miamijints : 4/17/2018 12:49 pm : link
He is really good friends with OBJ and would know day one he is not THE guy. He is REALLY motivated to not only stick it to the Boys but to show everyone he still has it and at a 1yr prove it deal he will not only show it on the field, he will also show better maturity seeing how it would affect his pockets. Jerry Jones face when Dez throws up the X in a Giants uniform after a big score would be worth it to me. Plus we would match up with the Rams a lot better if we were playoff bound.
