Cowboys are waiving starting defensive tackle Antwaun Woods, per source. They drafted two defensive tackles last weekend, and now Woods is a salary-cap casualty. "

Those guys are mostly get up the field type. Woods was more of a run stuffer.

Just wild us just signed two weeks ago

not from what we witnessed hence hes gone sorry but i thought this was passing league needing a NT on every down is an insane notion..

they will rotate and Urban can be play next to hill and Bohan next to Gallimore or vice versa ec etc its about rotations.. not like Bohan will be on all 60 defensive plays..

they wouldn't have let him go so early in this process if they dont have it covered. What does Watkins do? they have bodies' to get that all worked out in camp..

some of you all worry about things like this and fr what? let the coaches get it worked out we can discuss it if and when it becomes and issue..

I found this very interesting. Thoughts running g through my mind:

1. Did we just sign Woods as a smoke screen? If so, was it worth the wasted cap dollars we spent on SB, and was it even a smoke screen at all, considering everyone and their dog knew we needed to upgrade at DT?

2. Do they need his roster spot immediately?

3. Why now? Why not wait until training camp and cut him if he doesn’t perform in training camp. You might need him later on due to injuries, etc.

4. Did he do something that pissed the Cowboys off and they cut him? If so, +1 to the Cowboys for creating a culture of accountability.

I'm not surprised, but I am puzzled Antwaun Woods getting waived after just recently being resigned to a 2 year contract. Oh, well...better that this team start making needed cuts, than force themselves to hold on to someone only because they were recently resigned which would occupy a roster spot that we could use for another position.

We should have plenty of ammunition to cover both DT positions without the services of Woods.

Good luck Antwaun. Looks like being a member of the HotBoyz wasn't so hot after all. Ouff!

umm why offer and sign him to the new deal then cut him? what waste he literally just inked his deal what 2 weeks ago? how much did that cost them?

Zero. There were no guarantees in his contract from what I can find.

NFL is a tough biz, man. For his personal sake I hope he gets picked up somewhere.

Likely needed to get better under a certain number of bodies.

Osa, Golston, Urban, Watkins, Bohanna make him easily replaced
doesnt mean you dont carry him until final cuts its all the same isnt it i mean he was just signed this is going to cost them , why not use him through TC then decide? something's missing here

He might of been our best run stuffing DT. But lets see how this plays out. They added a lot of people at that position. I would of at least waited til after training camp. He must of been spreading bad blood in the locker room or something.
