Anybody else dissapointed in Sam Willams?

[TequilaCowboy]

At this point all he’s doing is taking a roster spot from someone who is younger, more potential and cheaper.

If he does it's because of STs.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Liufau's injury might give him a reprieve.

Ooor it gives us an opportunity to sign an improvement that someone else couldn't fit.

 

[Praxit]

.....after last night Vs Saints PS game.

He's pretty much cut bait material or PS tender.

He looked tired out there and demotivated. Fighting for a spot with all avg Joe's.

 

[Kwyn]

Yeah. What’s the savings if it’s a trade?

$2m is fully guaranteed.

We already paid him $600k, so the remaining $1.4m would be paid out and the cowboys would eat a $2m dead cap hit.

It’s probably one of the better arguments for why he will make the team. It’s also why no team would trade for him. They would eat some or all of that guarantee.

If the contract has an offset clause, wish us by no means rare, the guaranteed amount might be set up so they actually get cap credit back against the $2m

He’s basically untradeable except in a player swap for a similarly paid, near zero value player with another team in the same author’s

It’s a sunk cost to be sure. But I don’t think you compound one mistake in paying him with another in giving him a roster spot.

 

[FVSTONE]

He has played a ton of preseason, game snaps and very few impact plays. Anybody else dissapointed?

He's playing against 2nd, 3rd and dudes who won't be in the NFL after this weekend and he couldn't get to the QB! Time to cut him loose!

I wouldn’t have an issue with cutting him but hearing Schottenheimer mention him by name in the fourth quarter talking about special teams makes me think it may be a done deal

 

[Davidlee1973]

Another wasted second pick. Mlaw was the waste this year. He is a bust

 

[32BellyOption]

It’s time to move on and give someone else a chance.

In the for what it's worth department, he is only 27. And he is making peanuts this year. $2M is nothing. Less than 1% of the salary cap.

What's wrong with MLaw?

 

[jblaze2004]

He been a disappointment. I was expecting him to ball out went we traded Micah. He was a JAG. I would love for us to trade him and get like a 4 or 5th round pick back lmao

 

[CWR]

Yeah for about 3 years now.

The season hasn't even started yet. Lol gotta give him at least 2-3 years to show something.

 

[fivetwos]

He was playing in the fourth quarter of the final preseason game.

He is getting cut.

I’m indifferent on what they do with him.

 

[DuncanIso]

I was disappointed and gave up on him 2 years ago. If he makes the 53 we will see if he does anything to make it worth resigning him.

He has GTD $$$

Getting paid 2M no matter what.

POST-6/1 RELEASE​

Was for sure a mistake again by the front office

Gonna take time with that kid.

He had a mid 2nd round grade.

The knock on that pick is that they passed on Caleb Lomu to pick MLaw.

Coach Brim and CP pushed for the pick.

Brim worked at UCF last season.

He didn't make the Hall of Fame this preseason. For some extremely insightful fans that makes him a bust.
