This move screams AD.

lmao.

It does seem that way.

This one makes sense in that he is small and seems like a better fit in the 4-3.

I agree. He seems more like a 43 WOLB rather than a 34 WILB.

IRVING, Texas – The linebacker shuffling continued at Valley Ranch on Tuesday, as the Cowboys signed free agent Kyle Knox to the roster.

Knox is a three-year veteran who went undrafted out of Fresno State in 2012. He was signed by Seattle as a rookie and spent the year on the practice squad. The Seahawks released him at the start of the 2013 season, and he spent time with Jacksonville before landing in New Orleans.

He played two games with the Saints in 2013 and hung around to make 12 appearances with three tackles last season.

The Cowboys released safety Keelan Johnson to make room for Knox on the 90-man roster.

Keep churning the bottom of the 90-man roster. It looks like they are going to find some LB's that excel on special teams, come hell or high-water.

The Cowboys roster is really going to be upgraded by the time camp kicks off. Love the way they're looking high and low for young, athletic, high-effort guys.

Lots of LB's to chose from this year.

I'm fired up about this signing!!!

 

[visionary]

That's exactly what surprised me about it too. And yet, somehow, Jeff Heath's name is still listed on the roster...

That is because we are happy with our safety play

 

[visionary]

Wasn't that long ago some here thought Keelan Johnson would help the safety position.

Shots fired

[big dog cowboy]

with all these LBers you would think we were going to a 3-4

Nah. 2-5.

He's very athletic and my guess is between STs and the thought he might develop into a competent S even a backup keeps him on the roster. They like the guy.

We are going to look awesome next year running the 4-8 defense!

Screw the WR's, the QB won't have time to throw!!!

 

[Beast_from_East]

If he has any shot to make the team at all (which I highly doubt), he better be a mad man on special teams.

What do churn mean?

Dude... 4+8 = 12.

The defense can't play with 12 men on the field....

Oh, nevermind. I see what you did. With his split personality you counted Hardy twice.

Good catch.

No, we are going to play with 12 this year! It's going to be revolutionary to the game!! And Rogers might still pick us apart.

According to Wikipedia, Knox ran a 4.72 a few years back at 235. He might well be in the 4.6 range now at 220.
I can easily imagine he's likely destined for a looksee on the ST coverage units now with Cowboys. They weren't exactly the cat's meow last year, so some capable help there could prove fruitful.

Championship!

(Somebody was going to, might as well get it over with.)

****** I'm still waiting on the chance to get my (Championship! post in)...

 

[dallasdave]

Taking a 'looksee' at a practice squad candidate to groom or a possible STs Ace in the making. You can never have too many LBs, "quoting Bill Parcells".

LB is a high impact position which means more injuries are likely to happen especially over time and the course of an Offseason. Not to mention the grueling 16 game NFL schedule, plus hopefully playoffs with entering the tournament at the end of the year.

Well said indeed sir.

Too bad it got deleted.

What I don't understand is why we didn't hear a peep about Knox's workout. I would have thought it would be lead story on all the websites. Guess that only happens when we work out RB's.
