Costa Cut

It was pretty obvious based on the cap savings. I'd be shocked if Parnell isn't cut, too.
 
i dont really trust Bernie to be the backup,i imagine we will find another veteran center or more likely draft a G/C type.
 
He was set to make 1.5 mill. I expect the plan is to either draft a G and use Bern as the backup at center or re-sign Waters down the line

Soungs about right. Yankee could fall.
 
i would like to see those posts again,they were so wrong and hilarious.people couldnt believe what they saw with their own eyes and just wanted to find a valid reason for Costa's existence,

Those posts were not as good as this, a year ago this coming Monday:

At the NFL scouting combine, owner and general manager Jerry Jones praised Costa’s smarts and work ethic while also acknowledging limitations. Jones said the Cowboys would need strong guard play on either side of Costa.

“I can see going with Costa at center for several years,” Jones said last week.
 
Only thing I can say there is a swing tackle is more valuable than a guy who can only backup one position

That was what was so bad about the player. He could not play guard. Or center. Or really at all.
 
wow,i remember reading something like that but its still stunning,thankfully he wised up a year late an drafted Tfred.

Jones went overboard with praise for him after his first exhibition as well.

Costa is going to play a lot for the Cowboys . . . now. Now! I don't know how that works, but I'm glad we've got him. At this juncture, I don't know if anyone has had a better preseason than he's had. I put him right there at the top from my perspective with preseason work and how impressed we've been with him.

We have already reportedly been interested in USC C Marcus Martin. I am sure we will be looking at other draft prospects as well.

As of today Phil Costa remains with the Cowboys. If he's released he saves Cowboys $1.5 mil.

Wait. Did Jerry Jones just troll us all?
