Good Cowboys Players Just ‘Passing Through’

[BigStar]

Terry Glenn and LaRoi Glover were good pick ups. Richie Anderson at RB

 

[Hennessy_King]

T.O. is by far my favorite.

 

[OmerV]

Dat Nguyen

He wasn't a journyman - he never played for another team besides Dallas. His career just got cut short because of injuries.

 

[OmerV]

Excellent duo and major NFL history with these two.

Reeves wasn't just passing through as a player though. He played his whole career in Dallas.

Keyshawn Johnson, Thomas Everitt, Ray Horton, Jay Novacek, Terry Glenn, Rahib ‘Rocket’ Ismael... sure, most will remember Charles Haley and Dieon Sanders. But how about excellent but lesser-known contributors like La’roi Glover whom played for less successful versions of the Dallas Cowboys yet were excellent nonetheless?

Name your favorite ‘journeymen’ Dallas Cowboys.

Herb Adderly helped us win Super Bowl 6 after years with the Packers.

And how could I forget -- Isaac Holt, acquired via the Herschel Walker trade.

This is one whose career is a "what could've been" story, because he flashed some excellence really briefly, but...

Remember WR Patrick Jeffers?

We traded for him after training camp, if I recall right, in 1998. I'm not even sure what we gave up. Future considerations or something, basically nothing.

He started the year on the scout team and learning the offense, basically non-existent. Then he came on and averaged almost 20 yards per catch. And was one of the few guys who played well in the playoffs.

We let him walk because we didn't want to match the $1M offer sheet, deciding the one million bucks and a late round compensation pick were worth more to us than him. So he went to Carolina and had a monster season, averaging 17 yards per catch and scoring 12 touchdowns. He was an amazing weapon, showing the flashes he'd demonstrated late in 1998 could be stretched out into a full season. Part of a pretty unbelievable season by Steve Beuerlein, of all people.

Then he suffered an injury the next preseason and his career was basically over right after he'd blown up.

I remember Jeffers... Basically a clone of Ed McCaffery if im not mistaken

Similar body style and playing style, but he was never as good.

Michael Bennett
Robert Quinn

Roger Staubach was pretty good. Came from Vietnam to play here.

Laurent Robinson was good here. One of the few moments in his NFL he was actually healthy.

Jason Ferguson was a good NT here.

Marc Colombo.

And how could I forget -- Isaac Holt, acquired via the Herschel Walker trade.

Yes how could You?

 

[Londonboy]

Issiac Holt, the only player We kept from the Walker trade.
He was a solid player at CB and blocked several punts.

Hmmm.
Page 2 seems like a lifetime ago.

Rolando McClain (aka RoMac) - before he decided he preferred the "purple drank".
TO
Ron Leary
David Irving - before he decided weed was much better than the NFL

 

[bsbellomy]

What’s so funny? I freaking loved the performance of Robert Quinn last season. I’m actually worried Dallas may lose his valuable services.

I guess because he's technically still a Cowboy but probably not for long?

 

[Captain43Crash]

Scott Case
Hard hitting Safety who played Awesome vs Pittsburgh in the 95 Super Bowl. Could have won the MVP in that game.

 

[ak47kaehu]

Alonzo Spellman......

.....just kiddin.........

.......Probably RoMc.......when the rollercoaster was at its highest peak.

 

[HowardC]

TO, Marty B, Greg Hardy...

 

[HowardC]

Oh, and Rolando McClain...

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thomas Everrett was another player, made the key interception in the end zone in SB 27. After Norton's fantastic stop of Kennth Davis.

One of the great goal line stands against a high powered offense.

Was it an INT of a FF?

Wasnt there an FF early in the game near the goal line?

Butch Johnson.
