Dallas Cowboy Cuts and Transactions***Merged***

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Makes sense...why trade a player when you release him and get nothing.........................heck, there ain't to this GMing gig.....sign me up.

If someone was trying to trade for him while they was still uncertain about the Oline and during the time we were going through those injuries (Smith, Chaz and whoever else), no we couldn't afford to at that time.

We are never in the know of all the facts, data and info to know why they make certain decisions.

I'll go back to my regular job now of flipping burgers.

Hope it's a conditional pick. This dude travels more than the Travelocity Gnome.

Or Lebron...

 

[Kaiser]

why? they have Green and Bell for Swing OTs

But he is the perfect practice squad OT, he has NFL experience and knows the Cowboys system cold.

The trade for cornerback Bene Benwikere is the 149th of Jerry Jones' time with the Cowboys and the first he has ever conducted with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Lenoir cut

So now the defensive staff determines player acquisitions?

If so, its the same staff that had stiffs like nick hayden start for us for years, because they didnt value the 1-tech position.

And now, 2nd round picks arent big investments???
2nd round picks should be immediate starters. Where would this defense be, if Randy Gregory wasnt a bust and played to his potential?

You obviously dont understand the draft if you think 2nd round picks arent significant.

Lastly, you made @Pessimist_cowboy point when you mentioned the resources spent on the offense. This team isnt as good at scouting defensive talent as it is offensive, hence why most of our best players are on offense...

Randy Gregory wasn't a scouting issue as far as the player. I think he could've been a very good player.

I believe 2nd round picks are significant. They should be solid starters. I just don't think you can expect to turn a defense around by throwing a couple second round picks at it and expect a top 10 unit. We were a middle of the pack unit last season...which is what you expect given the investment.

And does defensive staff impact player acquisition? That's kind of silly. Maybe not always directly but indirectly you draft/sign players for specific systems. Carr/Mo were brought in to play in a Rob Ryan 3-4...not a Tampa 2 4-3 defense.

Lenoir cut

Very relieved about this as his returns scared me worse than Lucky even on fair catches. He had poor depth and distance judgement on kicks to where he was running toward the ball on almost every single kick when he tried to catch it.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Not Andy Jones!!! What are they thinking?!?!?

Oh wait, never mind

This confirms Dez Jr, I mean Noah Brown made the team.

You think the team is doing fine until the do stuff like this. While other teams are getting starters for pics.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Once again...

[DoctorChicken]

I am shocked

 

[Irvin88_4life]

They could also be planning on bringing in another OL that has been cut.

Jeremy Zuttah was cut. Can play all interior positions. Unless they are looking more for OT

Freaking quotas ...

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Told people way back in camp he would be cut.

With the trade of Bene and White not staying healthy he might get cut as well....

One last point.

Will McClay took over the draft and overall player personnel in 2014 .

I'm sure we can both agree player personnel has been better since then.

 

[TrailBlazer]

I guess we have different ideas of success when it comes to football.

They had a top 5 scoring defense last year. With very little talent. That's pretty successful

They'll gonna bring up Aaron Rodgers to you.

Like he didn't make the Giants 100 million dollar defense look even worse the week before he played us.
