Give Legette another season?

[RJK]

He’s cheap and can still improve. No need to move on unless you get a good offer or it’s become obvious he’s reached his ceiling

Year 3 is the magic number. After that all bets are off.

He has potential. Some time would be willing to trade a pick for him. If we can get a 4th for Mingo I think we can get atleast that if not a 3rd for Legette

let's be honest Cowboy Jones over paid for Mingo .so LOL, i am not so sure that Mingo trade is a good reference to use for future trades... just saying

Let’s see how he does in the playoffs… 

 

see what I do there

XL should have never been a trade up to draft. Projects are not worth a top 60 pick.

I wanted Ladd McConkey and Caelan Carson here instead of XL and Jaden Crumedy. I'm not the only one, but what do we know?

I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble. 

 

Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft. 

That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal. 

Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR. 

Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  

[Johnstonny]

Give the kid another year...If he doesn't show it, its over... we should be able to dig another WR out that is functional in late rounds or maybe a vet. Moose would drive me crazy his first couple years..but his stats are a little better than XL's at this point... It depends on him if he wants to be something.

[kungfoodude]

I think it depends on if you can quietly shop him around and gauge value. If you can find another Dallas deal, move him.

If not, you try to upgrade the position through free agency and/or draft and just push him down the roster for another season to potentially develop.

If that doesn't happen, cut him after 2026.

I don’t think the team can cut or trade XL until after Coker is signed to an extension next year (2026).  XL on the roster is a form of insurance against Coker’s agent making outlandish demands.

I mean, I know we all love Coker but outslandish demands based on?

Is that really true anymore for QBs or WRs?  With the way offense is today, the window seem to of shrunk.  Do WRs or QBs really not show themselves earlier now than the prior era? 
 

how many QBs or WRs stunk in the recent era their first 2 years with opportunity….and proved folks wrong later.
