Darius Jackson Available

[gimmesix]

It may be time for an ex Commander to hit the road, jack.

Yes, because Jackson has proven that he belongs on an NFL roster.

I'm all for replacing Morris. I'm even OK with bringing back Jackson when he's healthy. I don't necessarily see his second stint with the Cowboys ending any better than his first.

lol, the trolling is at an all-time high in this thread.

 

[gimmesix]

Can he play with one leg? Cause his knee as of now is injured per report.

It's Darius Jackson. From what I understand, he doesn't need any legs to lead the league in rushing.

This is the single most important event in the Cowboys entire offseason. Let's hope they pounce on this like Cam Newton after a loose football.

 

[gimmesix]

I'm the guy wearing blue, front center...

You're not that fast.

 

[SportsGuru80]

all i can find is knee.

Gotcha. I would like to know the severity, he looked like a good player in training camp/preseason.

 

[jterrell]

if we pick him up and IR him, does he get 1 year of service in IR?

we can't IR him at all right now and he can't pass a physical which is why he was waived/injured.
so CLE is paying him some money to go away.
eventually some team that doesn't have 3 quality NFL RBs will sign him if he is healthy enough to even play this season.

 

[Plankton]

My god... The crying in this forum after he was released...


You would have swore it was Emmitt Smith being released after a 1,200 yard season.

Pfft. 1200 yard per season rushers are poseurs.

Jackson is a 1400 yard per stud. Or, so I was told.

"The guy wearing blue".

Don't act like you don't know who that is, I see right through you.

Should I? I thought it was just from a commercial or something?

 

[Stash]

You're not that fast.

Physically? I might be.

Mentally? Yeah, not so much.

You know, I'd like to think that everyone in this thread is poking fun, but I'm afraid a lot of them are serious.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Why would Dallas sign a running back who is currently injured to compete for a roster spot? Lets bring back Matt China Doll Johnson back as well while we're at it and have him take Byron Jones spot.

This post makes way too much sense to get any likes. I'll give you one, anyway.

i dont mean IR him now.
we could pick him up and IR him before season starts
that effectively stashes him for later this season or next season when we only have zeke under contract.
only 1 spot out of 90...
assuming he does not need microfracture surgery of course

I dug around too and couldn't find anything. Not even a mention of anything with missed time before this news.

I can only think that it just happened, it's bad, and they quickly signed a replacement or that it's not anything serious at all and they just liked the new guy better.

But I'd like to know what the real story is. If it wasn't serious, I'd want him back.

PUP or NFI would be the designation before camp but it still requires a roster spot on the current 90 man roster.

 

[jobberone]

RB seems to be the one area where rueage is greatest.

right - 90 spots and we have plenty of fodder.
only 3 RB and a midget RB who runs a 4.67 as 'backup' in case of injury.
we also only have 1 RB on contract next year.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Now that he got cut... We should trade for him

I think it is a non-injury CYA designation

If he can't pass a physical then it is an easy pass

FYI Christine Michael got signed by the Colts today....... he has more jerseys than yards I think

we cut him to keep these other backs.
nothing has changed.
some other scrub will look great in preseason then we will cut him too.
