I'm hoping he clears the waiver wire so we can get him on our PS. Cutting him is highly questionable IMO.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

D.J. Adams cut too..... per twitter.

not sure he can be put on ps. he played in 6 games last year according to nfl.com for KC which i believe makes him ineligable

Will be playing close attention to what happens with Boyd now.

They cut him last week

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Byrd > Newsome for me . I'm sure it was a tough choice .

LaRon Byrd** not Chris Boyd. My fault, spelling mistake there.

Gotcha, it'll be interesting to say the least over the next 24 hrs

No way he makes it to PS. This is a passing league and teams need WR's.

Dwayne Harris? Harris is like 4th or 5th on the depth chart lol. Harris spot is guaranteed. Newsomes competition was Beasley, Streets, Byrd, etc.

I understand, but that's just because of Harris' returning ability. He's not the receiver Newsome is, although both are good.

Byrd may make it because of his size.

Byrd may make it because of his size.

I think Byrd's gonna make it. He's hatched into a pretty good player, and the ST bonus is a big plus in his favor.

Yep, I liked them both. Great receiver group this camp.

I hate to lose Jamar. Always looking for the next Laurent Robinson.

 

[ShiningStar]

Well, there goes the season, dont worry every other NFL team is going to see his vast superior skills and karate chop down his door. Than we going to do some heavy rueing. I got my rue shoes on now.

 

[kristie]

Practice squad?

Yea or nay?

i say "yea".

 

[Derinyar]

Its hard to get that fired up over the 6th or 7th WR spots honestly. And regretting a guy who's just left his 4th NFL team in three years.

Looking at the rules I don't think Newsome would be PS elligible. Only have two seasons of elligibility and I think those would be gone now.

I saw more flashes from Byrd than Newsome, was expecting this. I count Dez, Williams, Beasley, Harris, Street, as the top 5. Will they keep 6? I doubt it. Hope to see these guys on the PS.

 

[Szczepanik]

It is a shame we drafted Street.... that could of been used on defense...

If we didn't draft street we could of kept newsome, byrd on the roster. Who would of thought we would of hit well in the scouting for WR

That wasn't last year. That was in 2012 with the Chiefs. He was on the Cowboys practice squad for the majority of the 2013 season.
