Seven Dallas Cowboys who should be fired in 2018

Dez Bryant, Wide Receiver

The antics. The bravado. The passion. That is what powers the game of Dez Bryant. Unfortunately, all of it is useless and distracting if you are unable to produce on the field.

Whether it be due to declining physical skills, injuries, age or a loss of confidence, Bryant is no longer the wide receiver he once was. At this point, he’s an overpaid hindrance to a team that needs playmakers who can back up their talk on the field and play up to their contracts. Bryant is simply not that player.

His lack of chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott is crystal clear. For whatever reason, those two cannot figured it out on the field. Two years and $30 million is more than enough time and money to make it work. That ship has sailed.

It’s time for the Cowboys to find themselves a new number one wide receiver. And maybe a new number two and three while their at it. This group just needs an overhaul.

Bryant will clearly never be the elite receiver he once was. And his massive salary, $25 million over the next two years, means he’d have to agree to a large pay cut in order to stay in Dallas. (which I’m unsure his ego will allow him to accept)

Trading Bryant could be an option, but everyone has witnessed his decline. I’m not sure any team wants him at that contract number. This offseason, it could come down to a choice for Dez to stay at a reduced number or simply be released.

Regardless, the Cowboys must find themselves a new top target to start growing alongside Prescott. Obviously, the NFL Draft will likely be the desired option as Dallas has several high profile players to re-sign this offseason.
