Before Wednesday's deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign a long-term contract, three substantial pacts came together: The signed outside linebacker to . The signed wide receiver to The signed wide receiver to .Which player do you think will provide the most bang for the buck? will give the the most bang for their buck. The ultra-talented pa s catcher is the best player on Dallas' roster; he deserved to be paid as an elite receiver, based on his performance, production and long-term potential. Bryant has blo somed into a dominant WR1, exhibiting all of the traits (size, ball skills, toughne s and scoring ability) that a coach covets in a franchise wideout. Not to mention, Bryant is the emotional leader and sparkplug for an offense Matt Kemp Jersey that ranks as one of the NFL's best. Given his overall impact and scoring prowe s (56 career TD receptions, including 41 over the last three seasons), Bryant is still a bit underpaid despite today's jackpot. I'll roll with here, because he's simply the best player. There's a reason , especially when you look at . (Some of those "guarantees" are far from "guaranteed.") Getting bogged down in the details is mi sing the point, though. A top-five pa s rusher is worth more than a top-five receiver. Houston is set apart because he's so strong against the run, as well. He's a huge a set every Drew Storen Jersey down, not just when it's a pa s play. That gives him an edge over Bryant and Thomas. It's Dez. At times, he can be a handful, but Bryant is the most talented receiver in the NFL -- the ultimate blend of size and hands and the perfect target for . Bryant is a beast on third down and in the red zone. His will to win is incredible. Houston and Thomas are also true stars, but Dez is a powerhouse and the pulse of the brand. It's , no question. He is the ' offense. Frankly, he should have held out, because he had incredible leverage. , and the are left with , and Homer Bailey Jersey in the slot -- not exactly a trio that would frighten opposing defenses. needs Bryant, who accounted for nearly 30 percent of the ' targets in 2014, in this offense. Additionally, with fleeing to the NFC East-rival , the have a dicey run game. But hey, the offensive line is excellent! Too bad they can't catch or run the ball. Playing without Bryant would cause more damage to Dallas than Denver would experience without . and the ' offense would still be productive with (who ranked fifth in the NFL in receiving yards last season); , meanwhile, he'll be an active part of coach Gary Kubiak's scheme -- which also includes to help balance the attack. Without Bryant, the aren't even an 8-8 squad. Give me . He's the beating heart of the Dallas offense and signed for millions le s than 's annual earnings. Nick Senzel Jersey Ultimately, these ma sive deals mean nothing beyond the guaranteed cash, and Dez's payday will seem antiquated when and sign new deals down the road. I view Bryant as every bit the equal of those players -- he'll just cost le s, because he signed his deal first. Jerry Jones has been lashed in days past for overpaying average players, but the owner deserves credit today. It went down to the end, but Big D just put a ring on its best player. The remain -relevant for doing so. I think it's easier to negate a pa s rusher like than a premier receiver like or , and I expect Bryant to see a few more pa ses thrown his way in Dallas than Thomas under the run-friendly Gary Kubiak in Denver, so I'll give the edge to Bryant. I expect Bryant to produce at a high level throughout the life of the deal, because he has great work habits. When you sign a guy to Matt Harvey Jersey a contract like this, there's obviously a risk that he might become complacent, which is why Bryant's work habits are especially encouraging. |
