Dez Bryant Joins The New Orleans Saints
Dez Bryant to the Saints hell ye..aaaaaaand he’s gone.
I feel cheated. All that waiting to find out what would happen to Dez. All that speculation on if nobody wanted him or if he was just being picky and waiting for the right place to be. Where would Dez go? Who would want Dez? If Dez even good anymore? We finally had an answer lined up on the table. Dez waited and found the best landing spot possible. The Saints have an argument for being the best team in football right now. They have a #1 WR so Dez would be an asset instead of the workhorse, which would allow him to ease in and likely mask some flaws. He’d probably win a playoff game. Best of all, the Saints play the Cowboys in a month, and watching Dez destroy the Jerruhs would be the sweetest possible piece of pie. You know it would happen too. Sean Payton is petty as hell and likes to design games around stuff like that. Every time Drew Brees is up for a record it feels like the Saints gameplan is GET BREES THE RECORD. He would absolutely design a gameplan to feed Dez against the Cowboys and it would have worked.
Instead roughly a day later Dez Bryant was dead. RIP Dez Bryant.
It’s a goddamn tragedy. Now we get to wonder if his career is over instead. Dez may not even be a Saint next year. He might have to settle for the first offer to come along this time. Maybe he’ll be a Bengal under the newly appointed Hue Jackson. Dez would make an excellent subject to throw under a bus. Maybe he’ll go to the Redskins, they could use an old guy to add to the pile and being spiteful is about all Dan Snyder is good at (he’s bad at that too). Maybe he’ll be a Giant! He wont.
Two Saints comics in less than a week? I feel important! Not really. That’s as likely as Dez the Giant. I was honestly sad to see him get hurt. I was wanting to see what he would do in our offense. And then wait a few weeks and see if Dez would be Dez. Oh well. At least now we have Brandon Marshall……=(
Yeah. Feel same way. Also – evil Sean Payton is totally a thing now.
Oh right, that was a thing. Just two or three-ish days after Dez dies, the Saints picked up B-Marsh to be his replacement.
Well, it’s a dream come true. Finally. For the first time in his illustrious career, Brandon Marshall gets to sniff the NFL postseason. Hey, if you can’t lead a team to the playoffs, join a team going to the playoffs.
Nothing can possibly go wrong for Marshall now, can it?
(cue predictions that A) Marshall will pull a Dez himself, B) that Marshall’s getting cut before the end of the regular season, C) that the Saints suddenly, inexplicably lose everything left on their schedule and miraculously miss the playoffs, etc.)
Please be option C
Seconded
As a Saints fan, I strongly disagree with option C.
I would like to see the exact opposite of C.
Well, we have a winner!
It is B, to the immense relief to the two folks who root for the Saints up there.
Guess there ain’t gonna be no playoffs for Brandon Marshall after all… 🙁
Bruh I picked up Dez in fantasy only to release him a day later
Dez Bryant is gonna need a 1 year contract to show he can still play. Preferably for a QB who can highlight what he has left in the tank…. What team does that alot….hmmm……..
I wonder how he feels about January playoff games outdoors…..
Sometimes Dez wants to go – WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAAAAAME
