RELEASED Cowboys Release DE Benson Mayowa

[cern]

at the time of his signing he was better than what we had. now that we've accumulated a few good de's, we let him go as we should have. seems the prudent thing to do. I can see several more cuts coming.

 

[kiheikiwi]

A 17.4 mill hit today but a contract before July 16 could decrease that considerably. Why so glum chum

Not glum, frustrated. And yes they can get a deal done - but will they ? Judging by everything going on here the last couple of years, and Stephen saying that their FA plan is the same as in the past - why so warm and fuzzy chum ?

 

[northerncowboynation]

Good move, don't get the hate for him though. Its not like he was signed to a huge deal. He got JAG contract and was exactly that.

Some peoples just gotta hate. It's ridiculous!! Hate the team for saving some money then hate the team for not spending more on a RFA who has exactly 3 more sacks, a suspension and is as manic as half the fans on here.

 

[visionary]

Creates roughly $2.75M in cap room.

Good move to cut him now, bad move to overpay for him 2 years ago.

This Front Office has completely whiffed in free agency the past few off-seasons yet McClay gets an extension?

Why exactly?

He's that good
No one else could have got us to 9-7

Just in my nature... the glass half full dude

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

We're not swinging though. We're bunting, over and over again.

I'm fine with bunting as long as it gets me to first base. We are talking free agency after all.

Will they? That's up to Tank and his agent and SJ. It takes two to tango

lol, you need another to bunt you to second, then third then all the way home. Small ball style. first, second and third.... man that's half the fun of bringin it home

 

[Section446]

Bum.

 

[Section446]

Hopefully this is the just the start. Cut the underachievers

We wouldn't have a team if we cut all our underachivers.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Most obvious cut that was coming this off-season. His playing time really dwindled last year and with Charlton showing growth at the end of the season it made him expendable at that cap figure.

And he could never figure out that he needed to contain the run as well as try to rush the passer...

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Good he’ll pay for David Irving’s tender.

tru dat. and it won't be easy. I think tank's made it clear he's looking for top money. lots of guaranteed money. imo, he'll get tagged again next year while the cowboys look for another pass rusher thru the draft. with 10 picks, there could be some trading this year.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Frees up #93 jersey for Marcus Davenport.

 

[Bigdog]

Big move coming. We are bringing in that guy from that mcdonalds around the corner from the star. He will solve all of our problems.

Did you get that information from the liquor store clerk?

 

[dogberry]

Who is our starting rde?

That's what makes this year so interesting. We're finally out from under Romo's dead cap money. In hind sight it was a horrible contract. I don't hear much beotttching about it though.

Yes, it could happen that way Cern. Of course it will be all managements fault for not getting it done. Like I said it takes two to tango

But are you really happy with the FA moves this franchise has made over the last few years ?
None of the moves big or small have worked. When you play small ball, at least get them to contribute ...

Addition by subtraction.
