Why not play Taco this week instead of cutting him?

Give Taco a chance to show us and the league something. Against a bad Miami offensive line.

And save wear and tear on other players.

It's a roster spot this week, but we had cut Cedric Wilson, and no one picked him up.

The contract is guaranteed. If we cut him, we're still on the hook anyway. Cutting him is locking in the worst case scenario.
He hasnt had enough time to show it? Reduce Armstrong and Kerrys snaps for him? Add in the return of Quinn, makes no sense. They did the right thing for the team and for him.

The relationship between Taco and the Cowboys was unsalvageable. Otherwise, he'd have been active the first two games with Quinn out.

The notion that anyone would trade for him was a pipe dream.

If a guy is a healthy scratch for the first 2 games and talks openly about wanting to get traded, you don’t play him, plain and simple. It’s an absolute waste of a roster spot. Even if it is against the Dolphins.

I am guessing he did something egregious. Crossed a line. 10 years from know we will hear the tale on an insider type show/interview.
