I always thought it would be hard for him in the NFL because of his little baby t-rex arms.

I think they told Gardner first out of respect. They will try to keep him on the PS if think he has any upside potential. He seems to have physical limitations, so they may be ready to let him go all together.

Most people don't seem to get this. Good head coaches like Garrett (and probably most NFL coaches) care about the person sitting across from them when that player has all the right stuff. They actually hope they have success elsewhere when they know they're good enough. Coaches will even call other coaches and say "we don't have room for this guy, but he could probably help you." Coaches usually aren't as cut-throat as people sitting in their underwear typing on a computer.

Sure, they'd love to get Gardner on the PS. But like others said, the Cowboys probably realize he's good enough to play for somebody, and they actually want to see him have success in this league, success fulfilling his dreams. It's a gamble, but they keep the ones they think will be the best at their position, sign the good ones who may be too raw to help anybody right now to the PS, and wish the others well.

More of we have no room because of depth.

I just don't see a team cutting a player and risking losing him if they thought he could contribute next season at the earliest. This reminds me of Ahmad Dixon last season and how fans loved him but the Cowboys didn't.

Gardner has talent but he just didn't win the numbers game. My sense of the timing of the announcement is either that his agent wanted to the news out quickly so another team will pick him up, or the Cowboys knew he would be claimed on waivers and put the news out early to help him find a new home. Could be both also.

The funny thing is that its another area were @xwalker predicted it, took flack for it and will never hear the people who posted saying they were wrong.

They had to cut a few of their DL. Can't keep them all.

Gardner will end up in Tampa IMO. They cut Bowers and need pass rushers

The better the overall roster, the higher the chance this happens.
I'm sure you know this, but just sayin.

Maybe they have 57-58 who the feel sure could help in some way by next year ( or this year) but they can only keep 53

Lol
A couple of years ago they may have had 10-12 less

Perhaps. The team may just look at who they have now, and what they feel they'll have in the near future, and just not see a place for him.
