RELEASED Experiment Over; Cowboys Waive TE Rico Gathers

[Carson]

Took them this long to do it?

Liked the potential. But didn’t seem to be turning into anything on the field

I will be interested in seeing where he goes and how he performs. For ppl kicking the kids back in. Yes he was not happy how they stashed him on IR for a whole season.

He was dumb and lazy (But big and strong with good athletic ability).

Jarwin, Schultz and Witten are smart and hard workers.

 

[Hennessy_King]

He was an idiot. Just like Cole Beasley. Another idiot. When a player starts thinking he's a rapper cut bait stat.

Should they all try to be country singers instead?

How do you know he was dumb and lazy? You are part of the team?

OXNARD, Calif. - he Cowboys have apparently seen enough of the Rico Gathers experiment, deciding to cut the tight end on Monday here at training camp.

Gathers was entering his fourth camp with the team, and had seemingly improved every year, going from the practice squad in 2016-17 to the active roster last year in 2018, when he played 15 games, including four starts.

But here at camp, Gathers hadn’t made a big impact, and also suffered a minor ankle injury that kept him out a few days........

I think he faked an injury in order to get cut once he determined he was not going to make the roster.

He'll go to a team that has zero time invested in him and probably get a fresh chance to see if he can do something.

They should try to be football players.

Come at me, bro.

Watch he go to NE and Pretty Boy turns him into the 2nd coming of Tony Gonzalez.

 

[Avery]

Dude made $1.5 despite all of this.

And if he can't handle the Cowboys route tree, he ain't handling any NFL route tree much less the Pats.

Writing was on the wall when they drafted Schultz.

Too bad he didn't utilize that season to study film, and learn his assignments. I was excited about him at one time...

Yeh being buried on the depth chart due to nepotism and favoritism that runs rampant on this team I don't blame him.

Rico?........Gather your belongings

When you don't practice for a whole season it's tough. Some ppl can't learn just from reading plays. That's why there are different ways to teach. Some need the physical reps.

 

[Jeffkills]

You'll live on forever in our hearts, Rico!! If only you'd gotten a fair shake!!!

 

[Alexander]

Fan boys are taking this hard.

the new Unicorn is Jameill Showers..

 

[firewater]

RIP Rico. He will go down with Matt Johnson and Jamal Showers as a Cowboyszone legend.

Yo hasn't showers been in the league as long as Brady? We still paying him?

 

[CWR]

anyone want to take a stab on when he will be picked up or not picked up at all?

Meh, someone may look at his limited work and take a flyer. He may be signed as upside depth with the hope they can develop him.

He will have to get out of his own way first.

No, then they mix country with rap...and still produce... CRAP....
