Hunter Luepke being squeezed to keep FOUR TE's

[Mannix]

Can someone PLEASE tell me why you would risk losing a contributing Swiss Army Knife in favor of a FOURTH TE (Sean McKeon) who will NEVER see the field??? This is such flawed logic!!!

 

[Techsass]

Where did you see that?

 

[Havic]

???

McKeon can be put on the practice squad imo not Luep.

You know what else is flawed logic?

Thinking every player we cut is going to get claimed by another team.

 

[John813]

McKeon played in 13 games last year, getting snaps on offense and special teams.

I like Hunter, and hopes he makes the team, but McKeon is a swiss army knife too. Hback, TE and special teams.
He may be limited, but coaches do like the players that know their role and their assignments.

Where are you hearing this, no way they cut Luepke in favor of McKeon.

Neither player will make much of an impact for this team.

It’s a nice story for the Swiss Army knife who just happens to be a fantastic athlete.

Send Goldston packing and kee Luepke.

Where did I hear this? I've heard it from no less than four (4) sources....including in my attached video. Sorry, but no team needs FOUR TE's. And I should have better explained myself in regard to McKeon....I meant to say seeing the field and contributing offensively. Seriously, is McKeon going to keep the chains moving with tough short yardage runs???

You have to understand how important the 12 personnel and 3 TE sets are for the Cowboys to understand this. Luepke will make the practice squad if he doesnt get scooped.

It might also indicate that Schoonmaker isnt quite ready for lots of PT.

 

[Gambit]

Asking for a friend, can we wait until a player is cut before we rue the day?

How do you know that's what they are doing? Link?

I'm with you, if true. I hope not though. We need all 6'1" 235lbs 4.5 beast to get us those dirty yards.

I think Luepke stays. He brings more versatility to the table. The 3 QBs throws a wrench in the plans a little. Should be interesting.

What versatility does he bring? I like him, but not in the place of a valuable TE.

 

[Kwyn]

Where did you see that?

He’s guessing

 

[Kingofholland]

He's a bubble player as expected, however havent heard either way where the Cowboys are leaning on him.

We haven't heard or seen much of him for most of the camp and preseason, then he has a big preseason game 3. Lot of potential there and probably comes down to him or a 4th TE. I would keep Hunter and add Mckeon to the practice squad.

Are all four of those sources posts here?

Flawed logic is to think He's Moose Johnston, he isn't!

Sorry, but I'm not seeing the attached video.

Sean McKeon's ceiling is a 3rd TE/H-Back.

He was waived during final cuts last year, went unclaimed, joined the Practice Squad for several weeks before getting re-signed to the 53, and he will become an unrestricted free agent following this season.

Hunter Leupke will be on a cheap, minimum contract for the next 3 seasons before becoming a Restricted Free Agent.

McKeon can help more right now but Leupke has more long term value.

And John Stephens, Jr. will be getting back int he mix next year, too.

I'd risk exposing McKeon come tomorrow.
