Dez Bryant wants Cowboys trade for $50 million star - “He’ll bring perfect balance”
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant thinks his team is in good shape for the season, but still wants them to add an offensive superstar to bring the perfect balance to the team.
Bryant lobbied for the team to make a blockbuster move to acquire Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry this off-season. The player Tweeted on Saturday night that if the team acquired Henry, it would bring the perfect balance to their offense that includes WRs CeeDee Lamb, Micheal Gallup, Tony Pollard, Dak Prescott, and others.
"Cowboys get Derrick Henry with the supporting cast they have… Prescott Pollard Lamb Cooks Gallup and sprinkle in Turpin/Vaughn. Derrick Henry will bring the perfect balanced to execute all of the fire power the cowboys have… that’s a tough offense with a tough defense."
He also noted how Henry wouldn't need to be a workhorse in Dallas' system as he and emerging running back, Tony Pollard would split the backfield.
"Explosive Strength Balance and Speed. Reminder.. Derrick Henry carried the load in Tennessee his whole entire career.. he don’t have to do that in Dallas. I like the idea of this Yr cowboy team."
