Next time I see a red banner I hope I see the word Garrett in it.

This team is just utterly nonsensical. Maybe they cut him so he can get to a contender in time for the playoffs... but maybe Jerry needs to make the moves so we'd actually be in the playoffs instead.

Couldn’t this be done 3-4 weeks ago? Bring up someone to see what they got or grab someone off a Practice Squad. Like there was hope.

So Garrett found the cause of this seasons disaster and immediately rectified the problem.

Garrett is sending a stern message to the rest of the team......mediocrity will not be tolerated under his watch.

The stupidest signing we made, among some bad ones. We needed LB depth, and we got a guy twice retired who's injury prone himself, way past his prime and takes a month or three to get going. He was good in 2014, yes, but why rely on him now? We lost three games because we couldn't replace Lee

What are you talking about? Durant was our best signing. Heck, he was the only one to remain on the team.

I guess Jerry thinks Johnson is the secret sauce who will get us past the Eagles and prevent another .500 season.

Contender? The guy checked out last season.

Ok. That's lunch, people.......

 

[CT Dal Fan]

No surprise here. Durant wasn't coming back next year anyway.

 

[Pabst]

This is being done so that they can protect a PS members' rights going into next season. It's pretty standard stuff for end of season.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm anxious to see how many snaps Tre’von Johnson gets and if he looks any good.

This is actually a good move by the Cowboys to get him playing time.

Durant was probably going to retire again and the Cowboys are looking to next year already.

So we basically went from playoffs-do-or-die mode to preseason-hall-of-fame-game mode in two days.
