RELEASED Taco Charlton - Officially Released

[MichaelWinicki]

True.

The worst part about is, we never got to see how talented/not talented he was. He always seemed to complain and didn’t get to play much.

True. Seemed to be more of a problem between his ears than with his athletic ability.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Bum Bum Marinelli. 0-16

 

[Carson]

I mean are you surprised? He went to Michigan

 

[Kaiser]

If they felt they could make better use of the roster spot it makes perfect sense.

If Adam Redmond and Brandon Knight are still on the roster and Taco is gone, this is purely about Taco cutting himself from the team.

 

[Pantone282C]

The Taco is FREE!

Who?

 

[Reverend Conehead]

He will be another team's problem now

Probably the BC Lions problem.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I thought we could at least get a 4th round pick for him. Turns out we couldn't even got a 7th round pick for him. I would say that speaks volumes about Taco that no NFL team even thought he was worth a 7th round pick.

It will be interesting to see if any team claims him.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Bobby Carpenter isn't the biggest draft bust in Cowboy history.

Who would you say is the biggest bust? Some sites say it was Dwayne Goodrich.

 

[Praxit]

but Trysten Hill will work out. We promise.

...bwahahaha....

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

I wonder if he'll sack Dak before the season is over?

He kept saying stupid stuff on social media which tipped the rest of the league that he would be cut so of course nobody was dumb enough to trade for him. We have no pass rush. After that preseason game I was hoping he would have a break out year for us.

 

[cowboy_ron]

He literally felt like he was going to be a bust the day he was drafted.

 

[cowboyec]

I was for the pick at the time...and argued with some about him.
6'6...played his best in the biggest games.
boy was I wrong.
I couldn't have gotten a pick wronger.

 

[Floatyworm]

I'll say it...won't shock me to see him go to the Patriots...And play for another 6 years. Thought he turned a corner here this pre-season. Looks like this staff ruined another player by moving them around. When will we ever learn? How this staff continues to get free passes on player development..is mind blowing. Coaching staff needs to be held accountable.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Seeing that they just drafted an even more over rated bum in T. Hill, I would say they aren't going to be learning any lessons in defensive line drafting anytime soon.

Why is Hill a bum?

 

[davey999]

So this guy was a perfect team player at Michigan?

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Not exactly in my opinion.. Yes, he said stupid stuff. But sometimes teams have to trade for a player if they are low on the waiver wire claims. Taco will go through waivers and the bad teams have first shot to claim him. So, if a good team wanted him, they would have had to trade with the Cowboys to guarantee him.

 

[The Fonz]

The fact that we couldn't even get a late round conditional pick for him tells me that the rest of the league doesn't like him either.

why would they give us anything knowing for a fact we are going to release him

 

[Alexander]

True. Seemed to be more of a problem between his ears than with his athletic ability.

He will be the first to tell you that they just didn't like his personality. Of course, the team talks about the fact he couldn't flex to either side or to the interior.

Truth is probably right in the middle.

 

[Creeper]

Does he beat out Bobby Carpenter for our biggest draft bust ever?

This is a tough one. Rod Hill may have been a bigger bust just on the hype, but Carpenter was picked a bit earlier in the first round. Carpenter was picked because of who his dad was. Hill was drafted because the Cowboys (and a lot of other folks) were mesmerized by his athletic ability. Based on expectations Hill was a bigger bust. But then there was also Danny Noonan. He was picked 12th overall and had a good year but was mostly a JAG.

The loss of Taco would be easier to take if Randy Gregory was not smoking years off his career.

Then again, how do you measure a 1st round bust you spent on a mediocre aging WR like Roy Williams?
