RELEASED Official Cowboy Cuts Discussion Thread

What was Jackson's worst game?
What was Jackson's best game?

Jackson and Olumba BOTH gone. Keeping only 5 CBs, it seems.

Weber gone, too. Only keeping 2 RBs until we get Zeke signed. Wow.

Cowboys waived CB Donovan Olumba, source said. Hope is to sign him Sunday to practice squad, but there's a chance he is claimed elsewhere on waivers.

Pet cats get released every year... I liked Wise but we are pretty darn deep on defense this year, hopefully he makes it to the PS.

 

[Sydla]

Yeah I think Olumba and Wise might have interest from other teams.

Fingers crossed, I guess.

Seattle Seahawks will get him, that's my guess. He's the exact type of CB they love.

He and Wise will be picked up sadly

..not many will agree, but rather have him go then Morris.

Same here,,, I like Chunn and he looks the part, but Alfred is a solid vet and looks better this year after working on his spine/pelvis alignment.

Nick Eatman is going to be pissed too.

With Jarran Reed out the Seahawks could end up with both of them. Olumba is a Seattle style corner and that would move Shaquill Griffin to the slot where he'd fit better anyway.

Our 2019 backfield. Just because...

1. Zeke
2. Tony Pollard
3. LeSean McCoy [two year deal - He plays special teams]

LOL.

There is zero chance McCoy, at his age and with his cache, is playing special teams here.

It is surprising both Olumba and Jackson were cut.

 

[KJJ]

That's because everyone else is mediocre like him and the only real competition he's seen has been Woods, who has been here only two years and is already a better S than Heath.

Say what you will about Heath but he creates turnovers. Wood’s has been good, we’ll see how the position plays out with him in the mix.

 

[Alexander]

If we can get another OT off waivers who is good, then maybe. But no rookie JAGs like Campos or Knight or Hyatt.

Campos is already gone. But if we keep Hyatt we need our heads examined. Knight is a lot better.

He barely creates turnovers and for every turnover he makes, he botches a few plays.

One of the great mysteries for me of the last decade of Cowboys football is the love affair some of you have with such a mediocre safety.

Just beat it, Michael Jackson. I expect Olumba and Jackson to get a call shortly from CB-needy teams.

Devin Smith made the team.

dumb

5 CBs,

So does that mean they might carry 5 Ss - Woods, Heath, Wilson, Frazier and Thompson?

That would be silly IMO. Frazier and Thompson are JAGs.

I have no love affair with Heath, I’m just pointing out why he’s still around. Lol I have my issues with him as well but for the defense to take the next step we need to create more turnovers.

yeah, the Seahawks can rebuild their legion of boom again that way. They already got Clowney today.
