    Without much debate, physically at least, Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is the NFL's best WR. And at the moment Bryant and the Cowboys are at a standoff in contract talks with a potential holdout looming.

    A lot would have to happen before the Titans had a chance to get their hands on Bryant next year, but it could happen.

    How do fans feel about the team trading away two future draft picks for a guaranteed stud? Theres some language in the CBA that discounts the compensation teams would owe the Cowboys from signing him to an unmatched offer sheet after 2015 if he sits out all of 2015 and the Cowboys try franchising him again in 2016.

    I would be all for adding a sure thing for a 1st & 3rd pick, not like our teams turned 3rd rounders into valuable pieces here... IMO Bryant would be worth the investment, and we'd also have no problem fitting him into our cap with nearly $20M in cap space with carryover to add.... Id hope if things reach this stage that we'd be a player in the Bryant sweepstakes.. How about you guys?

    I mean, he is awesome and still young...but man, we need help in many areas. Especially the lines. Do you give that up for an extra year? That said....Imagine Bryant/DGBWright/Hunter/Douglas.McBride....Filthy

    I say no.
    Lets see how the existing potential plays out, and how much turns into real production.

    Even if we want him, I don't think he wants us. We're not relevant yet, only in Mariota's jersey sales.

    Wow what a great thread Cody!

    You are like a junior Paul Kuharsky.

    We should absolutely make this trade!

    Can you imagine the damage Dez and DGB could do on and off the field???

    They could catch passes together, be suspended together and get locked up in County together.

    Y'all don't think we get attention from the media? Wait until Dez and DGB beat up an old woman on West End for $14.34 and get arrested doing 150mph on 65 headed south back to Williamson County!

    Again, great to see you here JCB, stay blessed man. So much love for you right now.

    We are as stacked at WR as we have been in years. So I say no just based on that.

    If we could throw in Hunter and only give up our 1st, I'm all over that. But with the investment in Hunter, DGB, Wright, and with Douglas and Nicks on the roster, it's not needed. That's not including McBride - who nobody knows what to expect from him.

    ... we have a lot of unknowns and nobodies at WR, if we're being honest.

    This is one of those pie in the sky type of trades that has .000000001% chance of happening, but it sounds nice in theory.

    We would definitely be in the news all the time if we did, for the wrong reasons.
