RELEASED Cowboys waive Antwaun Woods

[Hawkeye0202]

Honestly, I wondering if they need his money to sign another player .........like now. It's almost screaming a sense of urgency ( Heath ????? )

 

[Doomsday101]

Wow. This seems like way too early. Why not take woods to training camp? I can’t think of a reason.

according to what I saw it was because of the cap number we have prior to signing rookie class.

 

[Stash]

Since you think you listened so well where did Quinn say he was only running a 3-4......

Who ever said “only”?

Strawman argument.

Prescott doesn't beat out Ehlinger in a fair competition.

Stirring the pot.......

Naw, why would a successful NFL QB have any chance of beating out a 6th round draft pick who has yet to show he can play even at a backup level in the NFL?

 

[DenCWBY]

Word has it that Jerry ordered Stephen to sign the old RB Ickie Woods from the Bengals, but Stephen thought Jerry said, Antwan Woods (since their first names are so similar). So Stephen signed the wrong player. However It's all good because Jaylon Smith is still the staple of this defense

 

[DRella]

I dont understand the release of Woods. He was probably the only DT that made a difference last season. Would have rather had him then Watkins. But I am in hopes this means the clearing of cap space means there is more augmenting to the roster to occur.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Or Woods was part of one of the worst defenses of all time and more that they filled the position with multiple draft guys and free agents its time to get rid of some of these players. I much rather cut them now and let these young guys get these reps

So was Diggs, D-Law, Gallimore, Wilson, et cetera.

The “part of the worst defense...” is a lazy explanation.

Drill 1: Tire toss

We've made a decision.

 

[CowboyRoy]

YES!!!!!!!! BYE!!!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I am confused as to why we resigned him, but not surprised he was released. Looks like Q and Urban are going to start at 1T. It was going to be a crowded camp at DT, so letting him go makes sense. Let's him go to camp with a different team while we let our players get set in the camps they will attend.

Yah, they were part of the worst defense. What is lazy about that?

 

[CowboyRoy]

That's a lot of faith put on Big Q. Woods was at least serviceable. No other NT option on the roster.

Woods sucked bro. This "serviceable" nonsense is ridiculous. The guy was awefull.

I expect more changes at defense, we can't on one hand holler about how poor the defense played then turn around and expect the Cowboys to stay with the same group. I feel bad for Woods but Cowboys needed to free up cap space but I would also say they are looking to replace players on a defense that needs to see changes

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

More like out of the draft when we drafted replacements you hope are better
Woods is a serviceable DT and good locker room guy but he is the definition of a guy you want to replace with more talent when you can

I would prefer to know if the talent drafted is worth replacing him before replacing him though.

Think 3-4 defense.

I think the Broncos’ Ja'Wuan James’ injury situation may have reminded the Cowboys about their own injury risk potential.

 

[Beaker42]

Maybe they needed to free up a roster spot for Earl Thomas.

Stop it - now you’re just living under a bridge LMAO.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Think 3-4 defense.

Interesting that we're going back to the 3-4. I know the 4-3 is more of what this team was built on, but the 4-3 hasn't worked so well. All the more reason Q makes sense since he will be the NT. I also think that will help DLaw since he might do better standing up as an outside linebacker. Also explains further the drafting of OwO and Golston. Also explains the heavy drafting of LBers. The last time we played well on D, we were running the 3-4 base. So, I am curious to see how this will go.
