Twitter: Cowboys release S Will Allen

[mickswag]

Seymour at DT?
Thomas Howard at WLB (he was decent in coverage).
Kerry Rhodes at S?

Don't think Howard is fully recovered from his knee injury.

Good, I love to see this from the team.

It is the kind of move we wouldn't have seen in past seasons for several different reasons. Things are different now though.

Does it show that Dallas made a bad free agency decision? It doesn't matter because Allen wasn't playing well and his attitude wasn't very good.

Cutting a vet and playing young, unknown players? It doesn't matter because Allen wasn't playing well and his attitude wasn't very good.

You can bet the rest of the team sees this and is taking note.

Good send off, smart guy for that. I wonder if anybody will pick him up?

if they do, do the cowboys still pay the $905k?

 

[CooterBrown]

Is this it?!! They give up 51 points at home and three 400+ passing yards in 5 games, and they cut a back-up safety.

"Let's cut Allen. There, that'll fix the problem or at least send a message to the team." (Sarcasm)

They should have cut Kiffin.

Jerry probably thinks since we played the class of the league down to the wire, that we are one shiny toy away from a Super Bowl .
Next yrs first for a flashy wide receiver baby.

Spags replied to my tweet and said Vega is possible or a DB that can cover down the seam.

Broaddus is saying PS call up LB or DB with no trades in the works.

Spags also was joking about bring Woodson out of retirement with fans and told it to Garrett. Garrett said Woody would figure out a way to get the job done.

I forgot Rhoads is still out there

 

[iamliko22]

Is a Austin for Byrd trade possible?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Mickey Spagnola ‏@Spags52 1h
RT @blindzebra13: @Spags52 Releasing Allen? To bring up Vega or a DL from outside?...Yes, or DB who can cover a TE down the hash

 

[Proximo]

If they call up Ratliff from PUP next week, the Cowboys can use a three week roster exemption on him. No need to cut a player for him right away. I have a feeling the Cowboys are going to call up Vega, Hamilton, or Pellerin from the practice squad....

I'm guessing this here is most likely the case. I really don't see some sensational trade happening out of the blue.

Also, I think Will Allen served his purpose; the organization obviously liked Wilcox quite a bit coming out and Allen figured to be a stop gap at best. Our safety situation is a lot better now than it has been in quite awhile. I'm just wondering what position they call up from the practice squad.

 

[Echo9]

Wonder who is out there that they want to bring in so they get rid of him now.

Wonder if it is going to be a DT since the Ratliff stuff is coming out.

Has the Ratliff stuff come out? I only heard one third hand blurb from a poster from a radio host about a JJ quote that was never followed up on. But aside from that... a D lineman makes sense.

 

[reddyuta]

I am not a fan of this but he must have pissed off the coaches for this drastic step.

wait where did you hear about the attitude issues? i've heard nothing but glowing comments about him from players and coaches since TC.

 

[LatinMind]

only 2 guys i would hope theyd consider as a Fa signing for FS is Rhodes and Phillips

I like the way you think especially if he did have a bad attitude.

 

[Frozen700]

Horrible attitude. You could see it when he was on the field Sunday. He looked disinterested when he was playing and pouted when he wasn't.

If this is true, I'm glad this piece of trash is gone

 

[Frozen700]

Except Urlacher had the size and strength to fight off blockers. Church does not.

Neither does troy, but that does not stop him

 

[jnday]

This is pretty damn shocking considering how green Wilcox's and Church's limited ability to help with pass coverage.

What is pretty damn shocking is that they went into the season with Allen as a starter. It is also shocking that many fans thought that the jag gonna be something better with Dallas than he has been with other teams.

 

[Deep_South]

Broaddus seem to think we're bringing up a Practice Squad player, but why delay the announcement? There must be something else going on...

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

First of all, slow your roll chief. You are the pessimist, not me. Just so it is clear, I never wanted Allen, for any role - starter or back up. Do you understand my stance now? I would rather start a rook (should either Church or JJ go down) than start Allen.

I would prefer a vet back up, just not Allen.

Go back and read . Now the back up is Heath .
