RELEASED Official Cowboy Cuts Discussion Thread

Weber cut. We've now got 2 tailbacks on the roster.

Sounds to me like Zeke is a done deal. He will be on the plane to Dallas tomorrow.

Yep an announcement soon on Zeke then?
Or waiver wire / trade.

 

[mmohican29]

Honestly couldn't get a feel for Chunn or Weber based on very poor OL play on 2nd, 3rd string O.

I do know that Jackson showed very little other than decent burst. I've never seen such marginal contact bring a player to the ground as often, and he had no wiggle.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Richard Sherman had the exact same speed, upside, ball hawking ability, and haircut.

Meanwhile Byron Jones can't get an interception if it stared him in the face.

Are you saying Olumba is as good as Jones?

 

[KJJ]

Patrik Walker? LOL.

He's a homer. I just can't anymore with you Heath guys. You guys just love mediocrity.

You’re being slammed. Lol

Wonder if Jerry will send his jet.

Would love nothing more than ... Zeke to start week 1, new contract $15M AAV

Agreed. Byron could have gotten us a 2020 1st.

His lack of interceptions says no first rounder to me unless it's a team desperate for what Byron is capable of. But, I thought we could get a 2 or at worst a 3. We'd probably get a 4 for him in comps when he leaves next offseason, so if take the trade for the higher pick, and let Olumba become our version of Sherman which he was looking like. And we have Wilson who is starting to look a bit like Chancellor. So I'm not sure what our coaches are playing at by getting rid of Olumba.

White is out

we'll get a 3rd round comp with the way corners are getting paid nowadays. But it's a bottom 3rd which might as well be a top 4th.

Have yet to hear anything about Noah Brown.

Surely they are just going to leave him on the PUP, right?

Interesting RB group. I like having Morris - coaches love him and he's likely got a career as a coach in his future. But he doesn't play ST so we may need an extra back 7 roster guy to fill that

Maybe a bottom 3 in comp, yes. But still, we could've gotten better than that in a trade with him i think, and I think Olumba would've been able to replace him quite well.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

yeah. Heath didn't do anything special. Carr was lunging ball first for the end zone and made a dumb play. Heath was just there. Anyone could have been there.

He literally sprinted about 30 yards to make that play.

 

[Knotamus]

Seems to me.. one of the coaches could have hit Daniel Wise in the shoulder with a baseball bat.. them ‘stash’ him on IR.

I realize we had tremendous depth on the DL and we were going to lose someone we all really liked, but this is going to be hard to swallow. I’m not saying he’s better than our starters, but he’s definitely worth keeping and letting him mature. He’ll prob be a starter for another team by next year. Fingers crossed we can get him to the PS. I suspect Jerry will lure him with the max $$ amount for a practice squad player if he isn’t picked up.

So far, he’s the only player cut that I’m worried ab losing

 

[Sydla]

Weber cut. We've now got 2 tailbacks on the roster.

Elliott is close or they have their eye on some cuts, but I haven't seen any RB cut that would make sense other than maybe McCoy but he's long in the tooth.

 

[Altestic]

I agree... at worst any Pro Bowler from the previous year would command a 2nd.

 

[Jumbo075]

The Cowboys are not going 6 deep at CB. Goodwin beat out the rookie & 2nd year player.

 

[Ron12]

It is surprising both Olumba and Jackson were cut.

Not really they don't need a FB ! Plus Jackson did not show enough !
