Whether it was Stephen Jones, Jason Garrett or, to some degree, Jerry Jones, the Cowboys have been telling you for weeks they were hardly afraid to contemplate life without Dez Bryant.

Well, they proved it Friday afternoon when they agreed to terms with free agent receiver Allen Hurns on a two-year deal worth as much as $12 million.

A day earlier, the Cowboys signed receiver Deonte Thompson to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.

The Cowboys now have seven receivers under contract: Dez Bryant ($12.5 million), Terance Williams ($3.5), Cole Beasley ($3.25 million), Ryan Switzer ($555,000), Noah Brown ($555,000), Thompson and Hurns.

Somebody’s gotta go; it should be Bryant.

Even if he agrees to a massive pay cut - the one the Cowboys’ front office has been hinting about for weeks - Dallas isn’t keeping seven receivers. On most Sundays, only five are active and Switzer was exclusively a kick and punt returner for much of the season.

The reality is the Cowboys have grown weary of Bryant’s petulance and now they’ve made plans to overhaul their receiver core starting with the 29-year-old receiver.

Hurns, 26, is a four-year veteran, who has missed 11 games since 2015. That’s the year, he caught 64 passes for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns, which led to a four-year $40 million contract with Jacksonville.

He’s been hampered by injuries the past two years, combining to catch just 74 passes for 961 yards and five touchdowns.

Ok because all JAG's this team has on the roster will get us into the playoffs. 

He is on the wrong side of his career, and is probably the biggest scumbag in the NFL, but Jerry has gotten him free passes for years.

26 the wrong side for a WR?

EDIT:  Thought someone wrote he was 26.  Looked it up he is 29.

Todd Bowles has got to some of these fans, if they think prior is comparable to Dez Bryant lol

You're thinking of the Dez from a few years ago. He is not the same player he once was. Being a scumbag is all well and good as long as you produce in this league apparently. Once your production goes down it gets tired. PASS.

I am not saying he is the same. He still put up almost 1k yardage last yr. While prior caught a few early before he was basically demoted to the scout team last yr.

I was not arguing Dez vs. Pryor. I was arguing against signing Dez PERIOD.

It’s seems jet fans have been Bowles programmed. A scumbag like Suh Who didn’t live up to his contract stomping on heads is ok, but if it’s an offensive guy no way lol.

Defense wins championships what has Dez won huh?

Neither one of these guys are actual scumbags, neither is overpaid, and the owners' serfs think anyone who makes it to their second contract in this sport falls under both categories.

What have we won ? Even when we had the best defense and best running game in the league ?lol. When we had Brandon Marshall 1st yr we got him, look how good he made a terrible qb like fitzgarbage look? But many jet fans think it doesn’t matter how bad your line is, how weak your receiving corps is, the qb will do it all lol
