Time to Cut Tyron?

[JoeKing]

Hall of Fame career but the OP wants to cut bait because the man got injured.

I wouldn't cut him. I'd keep him on IR for the season and see if he wants to have another go next year.

Love the guy and love what the 1st ballot HOFer has meant to the Cowboys. He is going to get full salary for not playing this year. Sadly, his body is not holding up for him to play 16 games in the NFL.

Time to send him off with a hero's farewell and his guaranteed money.

No reason to do it now. They would not save any cap dollars vs cutting him in March of 2023.

Could not agree more. Unreliable since 2015. 2015!!!!!

or and I know I'm thinking crazy here....keep him and get him back in the lineup later this year and if Tyler shows to be a great LT then you know have an upgrade at any spot on the line ready to go for the playoffs...since we are going to pay him for the year anyway....after the season a much diferent story.

How many games has he been available during 20-22? At least offer some worthy debate.

That's true. Have to wonder where his head is at and if he just doesn't pack it in after 2022 anyway. His luck is worse than his injuries. I have to believe he doesn't need the money and I know there comes a time when you start considering how future quality of life plays out.

No disrespect intended to you, but the whole idea of letting a player go out “on his own terms” in the salary cap/roster limited era is a very competitively unhealthy way to view this situation. Either he is worthy of his salary and his roster spot or he is not.

People complain about winning nothing for the last 26 years or so and counting—and yet espouse a mindset like this. Either you want to win—-and do all you can to win—or you don’t and you do things like overpay Witten and keep his past his usefulness. But make no mistake about it, sentimental feel good things get in the way of winning a Super Bowl.

Excellent point! Sentimental roster management is a bad strategy.

He's getting the full salary anyway. You can't just cut injured players to get off the hook for the base salary. At least, that's my understanding.

 

[Walker]

he is on a team friendly deal so prob not

Not here to debate right now, bye.

yeah probably is time, but ol jerry will keep him here for a few more years taking up roster spot and cap.
