Gerald Sensabugh Released

[DBOY3141]

Hopefully we have something else in mind then going safety in the first round. Maybe Woodson? Goldson? Ed reed? Ok maybe not reed but just throwing out names lol

Ronde Barber.

I guess they're going to draft 1 now

Interesting -- we generally don't do anything like this unless there is an immediate use for the money.

Monte doesn't like safeties that can't or refuse to tackle.

That was my biggest problem with him as well.

As an athlete he is off the charts, but he has no interest in tackling anyone. Glad he and Jenkins are gone.

Exactly what I think. I'm thinking they may tag Spencer right before the deadline, in a little bit.

The Cowboys' last few go-arounds to upgrade S have been through free agency (see Sensabeagh, Hamlim, etc.). All this produced was average (minuimally adequate but very short of great) S play.

I don't see Dallas going this route to replace Sensabeagh; if they really want to do that through free agency then keeping Sensabeagh would have been the beteer option.

I see the cowboys targeting S in the draft within the first 3 rounds to hope for a starter at FS.

Gerald Sensabaugh had only 3 run stops last season, the fewest of any safety with over 300 run snaps. #Cowboys

Good grief! It seems the running back would trip near you more times than that.

Please dont hell at me for this suggestion but what if gholson is tagged with the intent to trade? Hypothetically what would u give for him?

 

[Zordon]

This is how I feel right now.

Another hole on the roster to fill. Another excuse not to go OL/DL in the first.

doesnt happen by accident, its because we plan ahead, unlike other organizations

step 1: draft poorly
step 2: sign over-rated players to bad contracts
step 3: waive or cut said players
step 4: several holes on roster, creating perfect excuse not to pick OL/DL

fist pump

@BloggingTheBoys: DC Kiffin told SS Barry Church to prepare for "John Lynch" role, apparently didn't think Sensi could handle single-deep S responsibilities

 

[big dog cowboy]

finding another safety just became a priority

That's been true for years.

You have a sad life don't you?

Think the FO is penciling in Church and Johnson as your starters. Wouldn't expect a high pick going to safety. Prob pick up a scrub vet in FA for depth.

 

[speedkilz88]

Sensabaugh is coming off a horrible year, but not even looking at that he just didn't fit a role in Kiffin's scheme.

 

[muck4doo]

who is out there in free agency?

The answer is never keep spending good money on bad money spent. We will find someone. If it has to be through the draft, so be it.

Cowboys did not ask Gerald sensabaugh to take paycut

mike fisher ‏@fishsports
Our #Cowboys safety understanding: Kiffin has faith in Church. (Pun intended). Deep draft. Plans for MJohnson, still. 2nd-tier FA?

Ed Werder ‏@Edwerderespn
Cowboys release veteran S Gerald Sensabaugh. The coaches like Matt Johnson and Barry Church and desire internally to play younger guys.

Sensabaugh is coming off a horrible year, but not even looking at that he just didn't fit a role in Kiffin's scheme.

Also, he looked like an alien.

Sensabaugh was a marginal player the entire time he's been here. You'd be hard pressed to find a less physical starting S in the league.
