Just because the Cowboys have the weekend off, doesn't mean they shouldn't be working.

The Washington Commanders cut cornerback Leigh Torrence to make room for the recently signed DeAngelo Hall.

Since the Cowboys play Washington one week from today, wouldn't it be wise for Dallas to bring Torrence in? Dallas needs to win 5 of their last 7 gamesto have a shot to make the playoffs, so they need to take advantage of every opportunity presented to them. At the very least, picking Torrence's brain would seem to be one of those opportunities.

Torrence is a 3rd year player who played college ball at Stanford. (Those Stanford guys are usually smart people). Put him on the practice squad. Sign him to the active roster. Take advantage of the opportunity.

According to the Commanders web site: "Leigh Torrence is a talented cornerback who provided excellent depth in the secondary and was a key member of the special teams unit in 2007. He saw significant action in the defensive backfield when starting cornerback Carlos Rogers sustained a knee injury. Torrence had 33 tackles (24 solo), his first career sack and 14 special teams tackles (10 solo) last season."

Won't happen.

It would require complex thinking.....something this staff hasn't done in a long time.

Interesting. I actually am surprised that someone on the boards didn't mention bringing him in so that we could pick his brain or something.

He's a solid 3rd year CB. Apparently he was very popular in the Skins' locker room and is noted as a very smart player and good STs player. Just got caught in a numbers game in DC with the addition of DHall. With Springs out, Torrance played a lot and did well on a pretty good defense. He'd be an upgrade over Quincy Butler and possibly another young DB to go with #31 and #32.

That is the price you have to pay to be a fan of this team. It just goes with the territory. Always been that way and I suspect it always will be.

Not a bad idea, not a great idea either. But room can be made by discarding either Quincy Butler or the 3rd string QB, Brad Johnson.

That's because they already said it in the original post.
