Archer: Dax Swanson waived to move Gregory from DNR to suspended list; will look at other players

[Reality]

Archer: Why did the Cowboys waive cornerback Dax Swanson Monday? They needed a roster spot briefly as a procedural move for when they moved Randy Gregory from the reserve/did not report list to the reserve/suspended list. Swanson could return but the Cowboys will have a slew of players in for workouts today.

Just as I suspected, being that the 1st week is over and you don't have to guarantee anything.

They should have addressed the team's issues in the off season - you know - how other teams do it...

Wonder how long we rock two fullbacks

I don't know. We'll probably add a third pretty soon. Just to be safe.

Does it strike anyone else as weird that procedure calls for a roster player to be waived in order to move another player from one reserve designation to another reserve designation?

I heard they're bringing in Mario Williams and Dwight Freeney for workouts.



Or that they called them anyway.

Yes, it's quite stupid. I know the NFL doesn't want reserve designations to give a team an advantage in stashing players, but the league goes too far with its procedures to prevent it.
