He wasn't a journyman - he never played for another team besides Dallas. His career just got cut short because of injuries.Dat Nguyen
Reeves wasn't just passing through as a player though. He played his whole career in Dallas.Excellent duo and major NFL history with these two.
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.
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.
Similar body style and playing style, but he was never as good.I remember Jeffers... Basically a clone of Ed McCaffery if im not mistaken
Yes how could You?And how could I forget -- Isaac Holt, acquired via the Herschel Walker trade.
Hmmm.Issiac Holt, the only player We kept from the Walker trade.
He was a solid player at CB and blocked several punts.
What’s so funny? I freaking loved the performance of Robert Quinn last season. I’m actually worried Dallas may lose his valuable services.
Was it an INT of a FF?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.
