DT Justin Rogers is a unit

Does anyone else remember all the hurt feelings when we cut John Ridgeway?

Fast forward to now…buddy is on his third NFL team.

Americas Cowboy was devastated.

Every now & then a Jay Ratliff or Leon Lett shows up in very late rounds..

Wrong.

Officially, John Ridgeway is on his 2nd NFL team (Commanders, Saints) since the Cowboys stupidly cut him during the last day of cuts before the 53 man roster was due back in 2022. Ridgeway put up good DT numbers both in 2022 and 2023 for the Commanders while being a rotational backup DT, and he had decent stats playing injured last season for the Saints. He is getting ready to start his second year with the Saints and be a key interior DT rotational piece once again. Not bad for a guy the Cowboys cut who has contributed for 2 other teams while the Cowboys keep struggling trying to find anyone worthy of keeping.

Drafted by the Cowboys (1), then cut and signed by the Commanders (2), then cut and signed by the Saints (3).

He's got 1 sack and 1 TFL is three NFL seasons (45 games). What stats are you referring to?

I think this is kind of unfair to Rogers. He is in his second year after not playing in his first. DTs usually take some time to reach their potential. I am not expecting Rogers to be a star but I thought he looked better as a rookie than Mazi did as a rookie. I know that's not saying much but the team is desperate for one of their big guys to step up. I would be thrilled its Rogers or Toia.

This. For a 7th rd pick he was impressive and a surprise cut imo. Not sure if it was a personal issue with the old staff but he was better than Phillips/joseph/watkins last year.

I think his floor will be as a special teams gunner.

He has what NOT ONE SACK 45 games according to ESPN
he has a total of 33 tackles and one forced fumble
anyone claiming this guy is better than a JAG is a complete fool

Stop saying “we” please.

Semantics upsets you? OK then.

 

[CATCH17]

Cowboys website lists last year’s 7th round pick as 6’-3” 346 lbs.

No shot he’s 346.

Ridgeway wasn't on the Cowboys by the time the regular season started his rookie year, hence why he officially has only been with 2 NFL teams.
