So the Herring deal was nothing more than a red herring. Great!

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!

The reasons for the dissolution of this deal don't really matter, but it still indicates that homework was not properly done.

Did someone say that VR isn't a circus?

The Cowboys and LB Will Herring have called off their deal, sending Herring back to free agency.

According to reporter Todd Archer, Herring didn't fail a physical. Herring is back to looking for work as a special teamer.

Herring took one look at our trainee head coach and he was like "what the hell, I am out of here".

The agent is not happy.

The agent of New Orleans Saints free agent outside linebacker Will Herring said Friday that he’s “very angry” with the Dallas Cowboys for backing out of a one-year deal with his client.

George Mavrikes said the Cowboys “reneged” on the deal, citing their belief that Herring “may be an injury risk.” A Cowboys source and Mavrikes both said that Herring didn’t fail a physical, however.

The two sides agreed on a one-year deal for Herring on Thursday. Less than 24 hours later, the deal was called off.

“He is healthier than 90 percent of the league,” Mavrikes said of Herring. “He hasn’t missed a game or a practice the last two years and maybe missed five or so games in seven years, four because of a hamstring injury in his rookie year.

“It’s crazy and makes no sense. He’s the exact player Dallas needs.”

Could leave a sour taste I would imagine. Guess it was not "mutual" as reported.

lol. The article has a picture of Herring being stiff armed by Edgerrin James from six years ago. No one could find a pic of him in a Saints uniform anytime since 2008?

If they thought he was an injury risk, why the hell did they even offer him a contract in the first place?

Then to back out 24 hrs later because you have "buyers remorse" is just bizarre.

Pissing off agents is not good, what if he represents somebody in the future that we want to sign?

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys will not be signing linebacker Will Herring, according to sources.

Herring had agreed to a one-year deal Thursday but both sides agreed to walk away, which keeps Herring as a free agent. Because Herring never signed the deal, the team never made an announcement. A source said it was not related to a failed physical.


Wait, but..

I'm not sure what to think. FO so bad they can't even sign 4th tier players?

REALLY? That's all I have to say. Just so you know, we're not the worst franchise in the NFL. Well, not according to some in here.

But that's just a dumb comment, AE! You have no clue to the details. Besides, 95% of the fools in here who love to mock and complain about their beloved Cowboys did not want this guy anyway. You should be estactic. Get some sleep.

Guess I'll bold the question mark in the future. You're right, I have no clue what happened. What I do know is I love the Cowboys but after seeing the results for the last 18 years I can't say that I have that much faith in the FO abilities. Sorry if I offended. I guess I need to lower expectations.

Jerry is getting more and more out of control.

I do get where you're coming from. I do. It's frustrating. I just tend to find it more frustrating when the offseason arrives and nothing seems to be good enough before the draft, OTA's, and TC even begin.
