RELEASED Lucky Whitehead Cut **merged**

[dogunwo]

Look, I don't think anyone with a functional brain sees this as a true reaction meant to do something, like put an undisciplined mess of a team on notice.

But the team at least tried to put on a public front that will at least really impress those who are mesmerized by shiny objects.

Equally ridiculous then are fans asking for some mythical sacrificial move. It's always been a matter of how much value do you have. This is true for every team.

So was he cut for being a moron or being a marginal player? What's the message being sent?

Probably both.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Most predictable cut.

Wish him the best but glad he's no longer on the squad.

 

[hornitosmonster]

It should but they allowed the narrative of "we were going to move on anyway" to surface, so probably doesn't send as strong a message as we'd like.

Sarcasm, we all know Zeke isn't even close to being on the cutting block.

This should serve as a warning to Zeke.

Zeke could have walked out with the furniture. He's not getting cut.

LA Riots, woot!(?)

PR comes in many forms.

The Cowboys, for once, took action on a clearly expendable player.

That said, I bet that there are fans right now who think that this team does not tolerate dumb players because of this cut.

Personally, my *guess* is that they didn't like the people that Lucky was hanging around with and the dog theft incident made them very suspicious of that and possibly the fact that the dog was kidnapped for ransom because of something that Lucky did (again, possible).

Its kind of like OJ, now that Lucky has been cut he can spend time looking for the real dognappers.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Well hopefully people have now gotten their punitive jollies and we can move on.

Don't get mad just because someone stole your lucky coin.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Just when I thought this offseason couldn't get any worse this happens and they cut Lucky Whitehead.

This offseason just totally redeemed itself.

So was he cut for being a moron or being a marginal player?

YES...

What's the message being sent?

That if you are a marginal player and a dope, you will get cut....pretty simple to me. LOL

[LocimusPrime]

This is the truth

 

[MRV52]

Zeke could have walked out with the furniture. He's not getting cut.

That dog story suddenly seems sketchy.

A play for sympathy perhaps?

 

[Dwight]

What message is that exactly? That if you were planned on not making the roster anyways, any arrest or violation will just expedite the process? Hardly a message at all. The message is still clear: If you have talent or in a position of need, you will not get cut. Damien Wilson brandished a weapon at someone and is still here. Carroll got a DWI and is still here.Why? Because they are needed. Whitehead was a spare and not needed.

I disagree. He needed to get cut. If he stayed it would have sent the wrong message to the team. You can question that all you want but there was no justification for him staying. Wilson needs to go as well as Gregory. They are distractions period.

Maybe the Rodney Whitehead who actually committed the crime is better than the Lucky Whitehead the Cowboys just cut.

not likely cop caught him in the parking lot several minutes later, talk about no burst and elusiveness.
