The Cowboys have reunited with wide receiver Brice Butler. Saad Yousuf of The Athletic was the first to report the news on Monday (Twitter link).
Butler, 28, began his career with the Raiders but spent the 2014-17 seasons with the Cowboys. He was never a focal point of the club’s offense, as he averaged just 16 receptions, 269 yards, and two touchdowns during those four campaigns, but he offers familiarity with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan‘s scheme. Butler inked a two-year deal with the Cardinals this offseason but failed to make it through final cutdowns.
Dallas currently fields one of the league’s worst receiving units, as its depth chart is filled with complementary options such as Cole Beasley, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, Terrance Williams, Deonte Thompson, and rookie Michael Gallup. Through two games, Beasley leads the club in receptions (nine) and yards (86), while Austin is the only Cowboys receiver to catch a touchdown pass.
That means Josh is a no-go.
They were never interested.
Well, this should be interesting.
Damn they chose Brice Butler over Josh Gordon
Of course they did, they also thought Allen hurts was an upgrade at the wr position
Hurns*
I guess? But Brice doesn’t have the baggage like josh!
Brice was always the favorite target of dak, going back to the preseason and camp when dak started. They had chemistry from the beginning.
The issue with Brice was that they played Terrence Williams over him, which was/is a mistake. He’s better than Terrence and has proven that over and over again.
It’s time the cowboys give Brice a chance at being a starter. He is extremely talented and would immediately be the number one or two, with Gallup eventually potentially surpassing him.
Give Brice a chance!!!
