Collecting more and more old leftovers? No thank you. We are not getting any better by doing so.

But I wish he could stay in NFC so we might have a bigger chance to beat him again at playoffs.

Semtimentally sure it could work, but not with the production for the price. Some other team will offer him a fat contract that the Packers shouldn't match for another declining receiver, that I don't see as an upgrade to Nelson. He doesn't have the deep ball speed anymore, and Adams gets more seperation. What the Packers need is another top speed rookie that can ride out the rest of Rodgers career for cheap, and keep safties deep to open the field.

Jordy was a great teammate, had a decade of experience in the offense and a unique chemistry with Rodgers, but they decided to let him go because he can't run anymore.

Dez is similar in that he can't run, but that's where the similarities end IMHO. Pass.

Sad. Very Sad! Sad that packers are even considering wasting money on this guy. Do they really care about what the average fan thinks now? Or just signing big name players, that rob the team of it's youth. My other problem is they didn't have the money for Nelson. And now it's burning a hole in Gute's pocket. Dez is not Hope. Dez is a Loser now. He's a Bennett. You think they would have learned their lesson. What suckers; and were bigger suckers if this is the product that they want to put on the field. ( Without condemning it!) Gute's got his wires crossed on this one!

Route running and speed are not his strong suit. If he could learn to adjust his route according to the change of coverage....he would be a good addition. That was what Jordy could do in his sleep.

The Packers have seen firsthand Dez Bryant's emotional outbursts and sideline meltdowns. This would be akin to signing Terrell Owens. Taken together with his high salary, so-so production and Packers limited cap room, I can't see the Packers signing him.

Now, if Gutekunst wants to be in every conversation as he previously said, it can't hurt to call Bryant's agent just to see what his asking price is. Realistically though, this won't happen.

"Dez didn’t have a great 2017 season"

Or, a great 2016 season...
Or a great 2015 season...

So it's a pretty severe trend. Maybe he'd do better with a QB that had more Romo like skills. But, he's also a head job, and will be 30 in November. So I'm not a fan of the idea.

Unless Bryant wants to play for around the same salary cut Jordy turned down...no.

Maybe the Pack could load it up with incentives. But there is risk there too. Dez is the kind of prima donna that Jordy never, ever was. Bryant could easily be a cancer in the locker room publicly complaining he’s not getting enough attention on the field from ARod.

There will be some very good WRs available in the draft in Rds 2-4. And Gerinomo, Clark, Davis and Yancy will all be expected to challenge for the #3 WR.

"The long-time Cowboy would also get a chance to play with Aaron Rodgers."

That is all I have read about the reason why potential FA wide receivers would want to come to Green Bay this year. It hasn't happened yet. It is always about $$. Bryant is going to want as close to the $12 million or more he was going to make this year with the Cowdungs. He will sign with the Foreskins or the Giants so he can play against the Dungs twice a year. And they will pay him close to what he wants.

I live in Dallas and have since Dez started his collegiate career at Oklahoma State, where he was in the shadow of fellow Big-12 WR Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech.

I called it right away though, that this Bryant is better than Crabtree.

I wanted Dez in that 2010 Draft badly, and he magically slid down to us.... but so did Bulaga and we needed an OT badly. That pick of Bulaga was great, and without him, who knows if we would have made that Super Bowl that year.

I have watched Dez closely and had him in Fantasy FB the past 4 years.... he has not been the same since he broke his foot on opening night a few years ago vs the Giants. He's got the diva in him. He's selfish. And he doesn't have the same speed.

But he is still a beast and I think he would be a great compliment to Adams, Cobb, and Graham... but only IF he took a bargainish deal with HUGE $$ INCENTIVES for making and winning Super Bowls. If he'd buy into the TEAM concept with his pocket book, then I know I'm getting a Dez Bryant that will make our offense even more lethal.

Oh, I'd add a $1m bonus for every win over the Cowboys too :o)

Where is Russ Ball when I need him....

If we have 13m ... we probably to carry 6m into the season and 4m or so for draft picks.

Nelsons 15m 2 year deal might be a starting point but the ending point would have to be an APY of half that . Or for someone to agree a pay cut. Or we could mortgage our future and use the rodgers renewal to cut his cap hit this year.

Simply put if BG wanted a veteran receiver who's skillset was regressing, Jordy wouldn't have been cut to begin with. Looking at each situation they are quite similar in how they were dealt with this offseason on the business end of the game.

Neither were offered realistic chances at a pay cut and were released due to declining skillsets and transitioning offenses. Jordy was at least putting up numbers as recently as 2016 and one can argue that he would have produced with Rodgers last year. Bryant hasn't produced anything memorable since 2014. Granted he was operating as a WR1 in Dallas and would be a WR2 maybe even 3rd option in GB. The tape has shown since the start of the 2016 season Davante Adams has been taking on number one corners consistently.

With all of Bryant's baggage, his price tag and considering the release of Nelson I just don't see the sense of adding Bryant.

Wow have we beaten this story to death. Everyone started posting about Dez in here as soon as he was released. I have a couple of Cowboy fan friends that are happy as hell he's gone. Talk about complete opposites, Jordy quiet do your job and not complain and loved by his fans. People were sad to see him go, not many people saying that in Dallas. I hope he signs with the Giants and he and Beckham can punch each other in the face.

Why did we let Jordy go, moooooney. Dez is even more mooooney. Packers have no moooooney, Rogers has it all. Discussion over

Dez to GB makes sense to the senseless...those that believe because they bought a lottery ticket their odds are automatically higher to win it all even if others have the same numbers.

Signing Dez would justify the Torch and Pitchfork crowd to begin calling for Gute's head.

No thank you - bad team guy

Sorry folks but Jordy is gone. Get over it. For months if not years many posters here were screaming for change. Well change is here. If and it's a big IF, this report is true and Gute thinks Dez can help this team win then so be it. Welcome to GB Dez. Question: How washed up was Randy Moss when he left Oakland for NE? His previous three years of stats seemed to show he was falling off. He definitely was a diva with a bad attitude. Sounds familiar. Hmmm.

I don't think Dez is coming here, but I for one would like the move if it's done right.

Dez is not Jordy. Dez was hampered by injuries and is healthy now, whereas Jordy is showing serious decline in separation. While neither is a blazer, Dez is a much scarier matchup for corners--scary physicality, condor-length catch radius, intimidating swagger, great feel for open spots in coverage.

That said, I wouldn't break the bank. This is another Mo Wilkerson-type situation, so I'd offer a decent 1-year prove-it salary with incentives. Dez might bite for the opportunity to work with Aaron and revive his career.

I consider this a short-term upgrade at boundary receiver, if for the right price. Would I do it? Heck, yeah!

Give him a one year deal he wants a ring , Graham and Dez on the field together what QB wouldn't love that ?

0% that he signs with the Pack.
Madonna has better odds to become Mother Superior in any convent.

HAHA...listen, half you people don't like what Rodgers said in his podcast, just wait till a guy like Dez jumps on board!!!! Oh...now that would be "deplorable"...but it would be hilarious!!!! Sports is so serious!!!

There is a difference between a diva and a cancer. Dez is a diva, Martellus was a cancer--both in the locker room and throughout the fanbase.

Different worlds.

Pro:

1. Dez would be the split or flanker opposite Adams.
2. Big catch radius and jump balls.
3. Athletic. Can beat press.
4. Pretty good YAC and YPC.

Cons:

1. Not particularly fast.
2. Below average hands.
3. So-so route-running.
4. Potential for an attitude problem.
5. Cost.
6. Potentially forces a decision on Clark, Yancey, et al a year earlier unless we keep 7/8: Adams, Cobb, Dez, Allison, Clark, Davis, Yancey, Rookie, and call Graham a TE.

Dez gets cranky because he’s passionate about winning. Those antics are less likely to happen with a true alpha like Rodgers on the field. Dez isn’t Bennett. But I can easily see the concern.

I’m not in favor of Dez in GB, but it’s intriguing.

Everyone has a price. What would be an acceptable for a “let’s just see” salary? If he would do an incentive laden contract less than what Jordy is making...I’d look harder at it. But given the diva I think he is...I doubt he even considers it.

Also, as much as I have my opinions, I don’t want Packer management giving a rip about what fans want. Those with anti-Packer-player opinions (“he’s not a ‘Packer’ personality”) want their good old boys outclassing the opponent in a game of violence. I want the Packers to win it all.

I read that since his foot injury in 2015 that he is not the same player. I don't think adding a headcase is worth the risk. Just think back to Bennett as an example for behavior.

Dez will keep his talents in Texas, heading south to join the Texans & DeShaun Watson, opposite Deandre Hopkins and Will the thrill Fuller.

With JJ Watt and JaDeveon Clowney on the other side.

Star-studded team on the rise.

But the Packers have kicked the tires on some WRs it seems. Meredith, Matthews.... still wish we could have found a reasonable # to keep Jordy. He with Rodgers was still a great connection.

The Packers have sent pretty clear signals that they are in the market for WR help. Dez Bryant is a WR.

The Packers took on a risky signing in Muhammad Wilkerson, who is coming off two down years amidst reports of being less than fully professional about his job.

Nothing would surprise me about how Gute operates because there is not enough basis to understand his MO.

Get him in here on a cheap one year deal like Wilkerson's and focus the draft on defense and BPA. A line up with Adams, Cobb, Graham and Bryant sounds quite formidable. Throw in our running game and Philbin as the new OC and we might even be unstoppable.

The guy may be a diva and cry baby but if it's because he hates to lose, I'll take my chances on a guy like that. Rookies are rarely a force their first, Bryant you could plug in right away and he would need to be accounted for day one creating opportunity for the others. I want us to win a Super Bowl this year not in 2019 or whenever. Rodgers isn't getting any younger, nor I, us old timers can't wait too much longer let alone ARod. I'm sure he would know how to counsel this fella. The taste of victory with an eye on the prize and having one of the greatest ever throwing you the ball can change a bad attitude right quick. I thinks it's worth the chance if the price is right and besides I'd like nothing better than to stick it to Jerry and the dough boys right between the eyes should we go on a roll and he's a big part of it.

I still think dez is a 1000yd reciever and would score a lot of tds in gb. We need to remember that Dak sucks and is a vame manager at best. After that one incredible year with an all world rb and oline, the league figured him out. Dez would be a beast on the field here. The question is whether he'll have an emotional meltdown at some point in the season, and whether he'll run routes to 12s liking.

Reading the headline tells me the author hasn't watched Dez play in the last 3 seasons.

We don't need him at all. If we want a receiver who gives little effort, has a bad attitude, and can't shut his pie hole; we can just switch HHCD to offense.

I am willing to head a group of investors for Dez.

Yep, I want to raise money to fund a project to PAY MONEY TO KEEP HIM AWAY!

It appears that everyone forgets what the Packers biggest need is at WR, some one to take the top off the defense, whether it be a draft pick or a veteran that has the speed to do so. We have a solid young budding star in Adamas who excels with quickness and route running, we have a still young buy in Cobb who when healthy is a factor in the slot and now Graham to run the seam from TE, ALL THAT IS MISSING IS THE SPEED GUY PEOPLE YOUNG OR EXPERIENCED and Dez is not that guy. Imagine the receiving set with the speed guy and a back like Jones that can take it to the house, we could light up the scoreboard.

No.

The fact that this is a discussion shows that BG is different than TT and will explore all options to improve the team. Dez is 29 and coming off 3 so so years. Everything is blown out of proportion in Dallas. He still has talent and ability. I doubt he will sign in GB but it is worth the time to find out what his mindset is. Either way fans are going to complain cause that's what we do best.

NO !

Interesting comments. Packers number one need on offense was a TE who could split the seam. They got that. My guess is Dez's agent who contacted the Packers, not the other way around. With the high numbers of draft choices that trends more WR and DB for this team base on need. Dez does not fit the Packers need that could be filled by younger cheaper talent. If Nelson did not fit into the Packers offensive plans, then why think Bryant would. Makes no sense. (Not going to address that even Jerry Jones got rid of this guy. When Jerry Jones doesn't want you.....)

Fantasy article. Please. Cap money low. Not a good move. Couldn't even sign a couple of good FA receivers!! Lmao.
