RELEASED *** Cowboys 53-player Roster Cuts/Released Thread ***

[Chasing6]

My prediction is he doesn’t make the year before he is gone

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I am really worried about Shotty picky the 53 man team and deciding who is going to start, because a lot of players did not play in preseason.

As a new HC, with no experience, how can he make those types of decisions like that.

He has been here and knows the players

Keeping Mazi would just prove that the 'competition' mantra from Schotty is BS coach speak.

Year in and year out, Mazi is one of our worst defensive players.

 

[TwentyOne]

I am still a bit confused on why they release Lai collins...he seemed pretty versatile

You mean versatile like

Versatile Disposition?

Or

Versatile character?

Sarcasm.

wonder if Mafah is going to get stashed for the year with a phantom injury: Broaddus was hinting at it pretty hard this morning

To some extent its absolutely coach speak...It's still the same GM who is responsible for setting the roster. Schottys job is to coach whoever Jerry picks for him.

You don't pay attention do you? The reason, we don't need preseason is because of practice.

Not sure how you missed the one.

Of course you need preseason. James Houston, Childress both probably make this team thanks to preseason.

Mazi's contract is guaranteed. Cutting him and picking up someone similar to him is pointless.

I don’t know I wasn’t impressed with any of the interior linemen to say they should boot Mazi.

And that’s the thing you cut him and you are just gonna replace him with someone older.

Maybe just putting it out there he's "injured" so he doesn't get poached off the PS? Was pretty weird how he was talking about his shoulder...even though he just played in the last game

 

[Chasing6]

And that’s the thing you cut him and you are just gonna replace him with someone older.

And spend more money.

Sure sounds like it. I'm just hoping maybe they do the IR to return so he can play this year, if we have that spot available.

 

[jujoboys]

I just want to see Andrew Booth’s name on the list.

Why would they do it though? What’s the point?

Oh I think he saved his job with preseason….

 

[Chasing6]

Pretty sure he just makes the team.

 

[Teague31]

They don’t think they have room on the 53 and they don’t think he will make it thru waivers: this way you keep him for next year when Williams and Sanders might not be here

 

[MapleLeaf]

Mazi is Danny Noonan 2.0, super strong but a really bad football player who will eventually get cut because he just doesn't make plays.

Right now with the DT situation we have. Mazi stays.

He only leaves when another DT makes him expendable. He won't get cut to carry the extra CB.
