Twitter: Cowboys considering Swaim to IR and Darius Jackson promoted from PS

[Hawkeye0202]

Jackson from PS interesting......maybe take some load off Zeke if we clinch this week.

Makes sense....as soon as the division looks clinched you get Zeke as much rest as possible.

Needed him for the final week. Assuming we beat the Bucs, we want to sit Zeke, but that leaves Smith the only back in the game. I guess you can entirely throw the game, but I think the league would frown on that.

I would have preferred Jackson over Lenoir every game. We could use a real #2 to spell Zeke, and Jackson fits the bill better than Smith. Also, I'd give him a chance at kick and punt returns. Big guy with lots of speed. Can take a hit, and can take it to the house.

Part of it is probably the improved play of Jarwin and Schulz. They don't feel as desperate to get Swaim back on the field.

This saddens me. I was hoping for a Geoff Swaim return and Lombardi Trophy as a result.

Finally the Barry Sanders 2.0 of Cowboys message boards all across the land will see the field...

 

[Captain-Crash]

with him and rico together the legends can continue

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I heard Gil Brandt mention this earlier on NFL radio. It sounded like it was a done deal.

The, Darius Jackson
Let's get this party started
Championship

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone know if they get a pay raise when they go from practice squad, to active roster? Also, does it impact the cap at all? I admit, I've always liked this guy.

Not a bad move.

Especially if we win and can rest week 17.

Not 100% sure, but I don’t think they get a pay increase. The only way they get a pay increase is by going to another team. You can pay PS whatever you want

So, someone explain this to me.
If we lose Swaim to IR, why do we go to practice squad? I thought we had and liked Jarhead and Sgt. Schultze as TEs. Is Jackson for depth, as if we use the TEs that much....

 

[CowboyManDan]

I was expecting Jackson to get called up for these last two games. But we gotta win this one this week or none of it matters!

 

[Captain-Crash]

it sounds like smith and this guy might get some playing time if they win this week.

Unfortunately, the snark is lost among 85% of the forumites.

 

[Rockdoc]

does this mean that swaim is finally too hurt or do they like Rico?

Jackson is running back not a TE.

Nothing to do with Rico.

More to do with Jarwin and Schultz

[StarBoyz83]

Jackson will insure our pro bowl run. Yesssss

Was wondering about why, if we lose a TE we get another position, mate. And there was that initial that, is he a Whaa?
So back off, I can tell you had cabbage for dinner ....
