Shoonmaker has got to go!

[ratkinson]

This isn't "zero production" for a player that really only got targets when Ferguson was hurt in 2024.

Agreed. If he was taken a couple rounds later people would be calling him a valuable backup. But no matter where he was taken he's still the same player.

I am in the "keep him or trade him" camp. No way would I just cut Schoon for nothing.

Yeah if you can get a 6th or better for him have at it. But cutting him makes no sense. His problem seems to be opportunity.

You must have a very low impression of Ferguson. Not that i'm a big fan of his, but damn!

yeah I think he’s lost his burst and athleticism. Not that he was all world but he had it and I saw a high ceiling. But he’s lost it since his injury. Those 2 yards per catch in feel anyone can do….(I know he’s not that bad but he should have better production.

Schoon and Steele could be off this team tomorrow and I would be thrilled. Rarely do I absolutely hate a Cowboys player- but these are two I just can't stand. I will settle for any replacements we can find....good or bad. At least I won't need to be so bitter. And for 50 years I've loved pretty much every Dallas player. These two are exceptions. Sorry to vent.

What am I missing? What has he done to warrant hate? I don’t even get Steele hate I mean he’s limited I just don’t know if hate is warranted.

I’d be trying to Trade some of these guys.

Might as well cut them. I see no trade market for any of them. If you are 7-9-1 and these guys can’t make your team I’d rather just sign them when you cut them.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This same thread last year. And the year before!!!

At this point I’d rather he go just not to have to see them again.

When Dallas drafted Schoonamker, Dalton Schultz left in free agency and Jake Ferguson was coming off a 19 catch rookie season.

The Cowboys had no idea Ferg would emerge so they drafted Schoon out of need.

You don't draft a 5th round talent in the second regardless of need.

The lack of quick-twitch muscle in Schoonmaker has always been an issue.

Short of getting a transfusion from a Western Lowland Silverback I think hes nearing the end of a non-glorious career.

 

[jazzcat22]

It’s because people didn’t like the pick. They will always hold a grudge for it.

I did not like the pick either. Not the player himself, but they had greater needs. And could have got him, or another TE in the 3rd.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I’d trade him for a 6 or 7. Would be fine rolling with Ferg, BSF and Trigg

me too

I didn’t like it either but it’s nothing against him.

 

[RonWashington]

No one is giving you a Timex watch for Schoon let’s accept that . Secondly as Trigg takes TE3 job can Caelon Carson follow Schoon to the exits . Triquez Bridges is an improvement .

 

[cowboyec]

offer him to the raiders straight up for te michael mayer and lets turn the page.

 

[Chasing6]

Politics over performance.

TE 3's don't play much on offense and if he is playing 50% of snaps on special teams, he is performing.

I don't think there is a trade partner out there for Shoon.

Cowboys didn't have him as a 5th round talent.

Panic picks never work.

What about other teams? Did they laugh?
