I know what you mean, but I get the sense the organization had felt burned a bit by the way he faded away early in each of the last two seasons and, for a change, tried to be proactive in their handling of the matter. I didn't disagree then, and don't today.
In a vacuum, there's no way I'd ever let him go. But in a salary-cap era, with his age and injuries, and some of the expiring contracts we had coming up (Smith, Bryant), I didn't hate the move.
And I still heavily doubt the DeMarcus Ware we're seeing in Denver would be the DeMarcus Ware we'd be seeing here, for the previous reasons stated.
The Cowboys are 6-1 without Ware. What did they win with him? Don't pay attention to people that proclaimed this 2014 defense would be terrible and are now desperately seeking to find some shred of an issue to slam the Cowboys about.
