Dude wasn't even on the injury report.

I must have happened this week in practice.

Heck, we cut Olawale in 2012 and 6 years later traded a draft pick to get him back.

They swapped a 5th for the Raiders 6th.

That has very minimal value. Far less than even a 7th round pick.

It's done more as a favor by teams trading away the player than them really getting any significant value in return.

The Cowboys have made multiple trades with the Raiders since McClay got promoted to the top Personnel job for the Cowboys.

Antwaun Woods was cut from the Titans 90-man roster before training camp and was Day-1 starter for us.

Johnny Unitas was cut by the Steelers.

Jim Plunkett was cut by the 49ers before taking the Raiders to the Super Bowl. The Giants let go of Kurt Warner, and he went on to lead the Cardinals to a Super Bowl appearance.

Heck, we cut Olawale in 2012 and 6 years later traded a draft pick to get him back.

NFL history is full of guys who were cut by a team and went on to success with another.

Not saying Josh Jones will be, but he definitely can be. With the subpar players we have trotted out there at safety, I'd be willing to gamble on Jones.

Slightly off-subject, is this team going to give Donovan Wilson a shot back there? We seemed so high on him in the preseason, but have been reluctant to put him in.

It all comes down to whether he has the ability to cover.
