Stanback Among Saturday's Cuts
Posted by nickeatman at 9/5/2009 4:41 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com

The Cowboys have turned in their roster cuts to the NFL, and among the big names include wide receivers Isaiah Stanback and Jesse Holley, who scored the winning touchdown Friday night in Minnesota, and late-round draft picks DeAngelo Smith and Mike Mickens, a pair of defensive backs from the University of Cincinnati.

In all, the Cowboys released 22 players and put another on injured reserve. That actually puts the roster at 52 players. It’s likely the Cowboys will claim another player on Sunday.

Stanback, a fourth-round pick in 2007, has struggled to stay healthy and transition himself as a receiver from a quarterback in college. He has just two reception in two injury-plagued seasons.

Not on this list is rookie wide receiver Kevin Ogletree, the only undrafted player to make the team. Ogletree scored two touchdowns in the preseason, including the first of five scores by the Cowboys in Friday’s 35-31 preseason win over the Vikings.

Other so-called “bubble” guys that have made it for now include guards Cory Procter and Montrae Holland and nose tackle Junior Siavii, who hasn’t played an NFL game since 2006.

The Cowboys decided to move rookie linebacker Stephen Hodge to injured reserve. The sixth-round pick from TCU never fully recovered from a knee injury that required surgery in July. Hodge joins Robert Brewster and Brandon Williams among draft picks that will be lost for the 2009 season.

Here’s a list of the cuts and roster moves made on Saturday:

...don't they have to clear waivers first?

 

[Gooch]

Don't they have to be waived before getting signed to the PS?

 

[Avery]

I'm surprised Holley made PS, but good for him.

Don't they have to clear waivers, though?

 

[PBJTime]

...don't they have to clear waivers first?

This is just a tweet from Marty B. It's nothing official.

 

[Avery]

Maybe he meant to say that they want to sign them to PS if they clear waivers.

While next year Austin or Hurd or both will be gone to another team for more money so we will have to replace one or both them. Assuming Olgtree progress and fills in as the #3 or #4 wr there should be another good camp battle next year at WR

If Austin or Hurd don't consistently show their worth this year we really don't need to commit ourselves, long-term and monetarily, to that level of talent.

So I guess the winner of the 1st and long show ended up being more than just camp fodder huh?

 

[Avery]

I'd be surprised to see two WR's make PS.

I agree I just do not see us keeping both even if they both do ok or good someone will throw a little money at them and we will not match

So far this isn't the "Cowboys Cut Thread".

What is taking so long?

I know, how misleading. I'm looking for cuts and I get a tweet from Bennett???

 

[Wulfman]

Yes, they have to clear waivers before they can be signed to the practice squad, so there's NO way they could have been signed to the PS already. Marty B might have meant that they've been told that's the Cowboys' intentions, that he thinks they should or will, or something of that nature. But it can NOT be that they have already been signed to the PS.

Practice squad signings may not even be possible until Monday, if memory serves.

An incorrect tweet at that. Can't sign anybody to the PS until they clear waivers.

 

[cowboyrock]

I hope C. Brown, Stanback,Proctor and B. Carpenter are all on this list.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

I'm pretty sure a few players have already made their team's PS because they simply have to go 24 hours without a claim being made for them.

It will be the cut thread be patient. Deadline is in 30 mins or so.
