Mike Mickens released by Bengals

:bang2: If you are putting them on the pratice squad, you're not trying real hard to let them stay, OR IF you are not calling them and asking them to stay, Dallas let him walk but did it nicely.

Sorry we're playing a game of wars to suit your needs, but its not like Dallas pleaded with him to stay.

War of words????? I just corrected you on your comment. No need to get your undies in a bind. As far as NFL teams placing players on their perspective pratice squads, that doesn't mean they don't think highly of them. It means that they do think highly of them, but for whatever reasons,a practice squad player cannot be on the active roster. Maybe the position that player plays is deep, or the particular player is raw and needs to develop, or the player is recovering from a injury(like Mickens), the pratice squad is a good way of keeping that said player. You don't think Dallas was upset when Carolina signed Matt Moore off the Cowboys pratice squad a couple of years ago? Now Matt Moore is the starting qb for the Panthers. The pratcie squad can be a important part of an NFL teams overall roster.

They're not. Sorry Matt Moore wouldnt be starting here. Again, you put them on the PS, you know theres a chance they are going to walk. There is NO time in the NFL for many players to develop. Running Backs, CB's, WR's tend to have ashort life span. Defense and Oline guys get a bit more wiggle room but not a lot.

Sorry, if you like a player or believe in the player, make room on the roster, if not once they go to the PS, they are fair game.

Heres a good example for the Cowboys. Marcus Dixon, entering his 3rd year and has been on the Cowboys practice squad. He has a decednt chance to make the active roster this year. He spent time on the pratice squad to recover from a back injury and to develop, since he was raw coming out of college. Now if he makes the team this year, it will show, even you, that the pratice squad is a good way to develop young players. And if Dixon does make the team this year, I have a feeling that I will be letting you know.

And yet if another team signs him, me and the Cowboys wont be losing any sleep over it.

I have a feeling, ill be letting you know.
