Sure, just have him give back the money he'd cost the team against the cap so everything's a wash and he's free to go.

He’s not helping you if he don’t want to be here and they don’t want him. Just let him walk

The water has already been poisoned. Even if they decided to play hard ball, this whole situation has been botched to the point where keeping him out of spite accomplishes nothing.

These players know how the Joneses operate. He will get his wish.

About the only leverage Dallas has any more is to what degree they want to make them wait.

Yeah, a lot of these people posting have the "scorned ex" syndrome. If you say he's going to be cut why don't you just cut him already, like I said the player hate on this board is real.

He'll "help" by being this team's depth. That's worth more than the small $1.4 million they gain by cutting him. I don't think a team can ever have too many experienced corners, and if I can't get someone to trade for him, I'm keeping him.

Because they have already botched this up so far they really have no other alternative.

They cannot even save face by playing hard ball. This is now a PR thing since Stephen Jones just could not help himself but to talk about it.

That automatically gave Scandrick leverage to air his grievances.

i think Garrett has proven that if his starters go down, he cant compensate, so its not going to make a difference. Lets be honest, any cowboy fans are rooting we dont win this season in the hopes it gets rid of Garrett. So nothing we do this off season is going to make that much of a difference.

And he’ll be a problem in your locker room. Cut him, they already said they were so the money isn’t an issue for them.

So, you keep a player who is entirely capable of making an *** of themselves?

I wouldn't keep him to actually have him play. I would string this out as long as I could as it appears things are a little personal.

And again, this is entirely the organization's fault.

And then you fine or suspend him. I'm done with the inmates thinking they can run the asylum. Make an example out of this guy if you need to rather than giving into yet another one.

He's under contract. A contract that he agreed to.

Yet when the team is tired off you they can just let you go. There’s no loyalty on either side, instead of creating a fiasco, rid yourself of a problem.

Heah, I'd keep him. $1.4 million isn't enough for me to sacrifice what can still be quality depth. Let him pout.

I don't disagree with that. Teams often don't honor contracts. But again, he knew that when he ran up to the pay window. Numerous times.

I'm keeping my depth.

He is not really "quality depth" if he is disgruntled though.

He is a pissed off drama queen who happens to be a vet who can claim that that he is being oppressed. In our victim society these days and with a young roster, that could be deadly.

Trust me, I get what you are saying in principle, but human nature just doesn't work this way. Not any more.

Free him then, what is the problem. They tried trading him during last years draft but no takers, then had to do damage control.

Hey, I have no problem with anyone having a different opinion.
