Farmer released

[RS12]

 

[MonsterD]

Not surprised, he never looked good. I think he might be on the "Undrafted" show on NFLN, I thought I saw a Farmer on the commercial.

 

[Iago33]

Was hoping he would show something. I was sort of expecting to hear Greenberry (sp) was let go.

 

[RS12]

You cant win WR battles in the NFL on talent alone, unless you have Randy Moss ability.

 

[CATCH17]

Well we tried.

Looked like a good prospect.

 

[RS12]

Whoever told him to leave school with a years eligibility left gave him some real bad advice.

Greenberry had a good Saturday.

The Deontay Greenberry from the OTAs showed up at practice on Saturday. It has been a struggle for the rookie as some off the field concerns have finally been put to rest and he can concentrate on his job. During 7-on-7 he ran two really nice routes -- one crossing and the other a corner. Where he had been fighting the ball, he made solid hands catches and was able to break away from the defender.

With everything going on in his personal life, I think the Cowboys will be very patient with Deontay Greenberry. The young man should be given a chance to compete without profound "off the field" issues impacting his performance.

Thanks. I saw that. Didn't think he'd make it to Saturday. But the report said he's had some odd the field issues. Maybe he can still turn things around. He ran some decent routes--just couldn't catch a thing.

Maybe Farmer knows what NFL stands for now.

Yeah, his Dad's murderer was on trial in Fresno.

I guess Farmer's reputation, which was bigtime in Californy at one point in time, simply didn't stand him in good stead in Texas. No doubt, his past reputation had much to do with the big bonus $$ of 50,000 he got w/Dallas but dropping the ball on a daily basis in TC just didn't feed the bulldog. His decline actually was well underway in California, however, due significantly to various injuries suffered at USC. He had nice size and speed but not too much else left by the time the Cowboys signed him.

Does anyone else think this means we are trading for Peterson

Damn...! Did not know that.

 

[Stash]

I thought Farmer had a shot at the practice squad, but he doesn't seem to care enough. I expect Goodley to follow him out the door as soon as he's healthy.

These UDFA receivers haven't impressed so far.

Yeah, going in I was thinking this was the best UDFA WR group they've had.

 

[Hailmary]

He needs playing time, somewhere/anywhere. He should go to Canada and play a couple of years and give the nfl another shot. He just turned 22, so he had time.

Anyone have scouting report on this Porter kid?

 

[RS12]

I thought they'd cut Jenkins first. Reports said he couldnt catch a cold.

Good analysis.......

Kid made it this far because @ one point he was a top 5 recruit coming out of high school.......
