Never
I feel like they would’ve cut him by now though.Honestly, this feels like there is another non injury related issue going on. Something has soured the front office/coaching staff on him.
Or stash him on IR in case another WR injury occurs. They can wait and cut him in the off season.He took his $175,000, or whatever paltry contract he signed and ran….
They were talking about him weeks ago, now not a word about him at all.When is he back ?
When is he back ?
Yes it was, wasn't he suppose to be the #3 guy and help replace COOP? So he contributes nothing as one of the only FA signings this offseason- WOWDid he a break a foot or get it amputated? What a wasted signing he was…
What exactly can be categorized as a “huge” mistake? They paid him almost nothing, he’s never been on the active roster, he’s never made them not pursue other options and he might have been cut if not injured. He was always a backend of the WR rotation signing that costs very little even though some on here pretended otherwise. He was never signed to be a starter. Personally I would have cut him if he didn’t go to IR and I’d leave him there this year and move on next year but it’s not like they gave him a big contract or a long term commitment. You need cheap backup options in case of injury and the such and that IMO is why he was signed and what he still is if healthy. It’s like referring to Takk McKinley as a huge mistake if he doesn’t do anything. Not everyone is signed to be an impact playerI said it from the very beginning signing James Washington was a huge mistake.
True he didn't cosy much, its not about the $ lost, it was peanuts. But they were counting on him as the # 3 guy and to pick up some of the production of Coops being traded or given away. They were expecting that.What exactly can be categorized as a “huge” mistake?

I believe it was a toe injury. Surgery was on August 2nd and projected to be a 6-10 week injury. We are now in week #18 on TuesdayDid he a break a foot or get it amputated? What a wasted signing he was…
Washington took up all those training camp reps. Could have used them on someone else who doesn't have a history of getting injured or used them on our young receivers. When today's pass-happy Steelers let you go, but you're only 25 years old, that's a huge red flag. Cowboys are learning this the hard way. A waste in so many ways.What exactly can be categorized as a “huge” mistake?

Good point. Maybe Tolbert could have learned to line up on-side back then, lol.Washington took up all those training camp reps.

I don’t think he was ever thought of as the #3 WR over Brown and the young guys. I think he was the #4 and the team assumed they would get more from Tolbert, Simi, etcTrue he didn't cosy much, its not about the $ lost, it was peanuts. But they were counting on him as the # 3 guy and to pick up some of the production of Coops being traded or given away. They were expecting that.
