Not only is this Ken Hamlin's final day, the Cowboys have also decided to release left tackle Flozell Adams, according to his agent, Jordan Woy.

Signed to a five-year extension in 2008, Adams was the final link to the Triplets - Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith - as the Cowboys look to get younger in protecting Tony Romo's blindside either with Doug Free or a draft pick.

"He has enjoyed his time in Dallas with his teammates and the Cowboys' organization," Woy said. "Now it is time to move on to a new team. Flo feels he has several good years in front of him."

A second-round pick in 1998, Adams was named to the Pro Bowl five times with the last coming in 2008. The only offensive tackle in team history to earn more Pro Bowl honors than Adams is Hall of Famer Rayfield Wright (six).

Adams started every game he played for the Cowboys once he was inserted into the lineup at right guard on Oct. 4, 1998 against Carolina. He made 178 starts in his career and came back from a serious knee injury in 2006 after missing the final 10 games of the '05 season.

While Adams was one of the most-penalized linemen over the last six seasons, the Cowboys never felt uncomfortable with him as their left tackle. They were willing to live with a false start or two given the types of speed rushers Adams would face on almost a weekly basis.

According to Stats Inc., Adams allowed a career-high eight sacks in 2009 and had given up 61.75 for his career. In the last three years Adams has been penalized 39 times (24 false starts), including 12 last season.

He also heard from the NFL regarding fines more last season. He was fined a total of $80,000 for six incidents and the results of Adams' appeals are not known.

Adams was scheduled to make a $5 million base salary with a $2.5 million roster bonus due in June.

This move might make sense on Jerry's accounting ledger, but it makes absolutely no sense on the football field.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I guess that answers Catch17's question since I believe he is the poster who kept saying that if they thought Doug Free was the future they would get rid of Flo.

 

[Smith22]

Not too surprising.

Doug Free time?

 

[The Quest for Six]

Wowww talk about Good Friday!!!

Good Riddance Friday

 

[Smith22]

This move might make sense on Jerry's accounting ledger, but it makes absolutely no sense on the football field.

1) They must have liked what they saw from Free last year.

2) Davis can always fill in for a game or 2 if need be.

3) Drafting an OL sometime during rounds 1-4 appears to be a stone cold lock.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Good Riddance Friday

Because the OL looked absolutely awesome against Minnesota when Flozell went down.

 

[Eldorado]

Um.

I don't know whether to cry at the fact that we're out 2 starters, smile at the fact that the two starters we released were on my ****list, or laugh at the irony that it's Good Friday.

I guess they intend to promote from within. Still not convinced Free is a quality LT, however.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Adams was a good Cowboy so I wish him well. He is going to be hard to replace.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with this.

If nothing else, he could've been good depth.

My money says he ends up in Washington.

 

[Smith22]

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with this.

If nothing else, he could've been good depth.

Not at that salary.

 

[CATCH17]

Like I have said all along. It just makes to much sense to cut both of these guys.

I think it was more about Colombo's inability to block my 85 year old grandmom lol.
