Signed by Cowboys Trade - WT Tavon Austin from Rams (for 6th round pick)

[Verdict]

They already have a better Beas in Doug Baldwin. I think Seattle really could have used Dez. Pair Wilson's accuracy with Dez's physicality and you have a win. Carroll is known for working with loudmouths.

If the Seahawks "could have used Dez" they would sign him now for peanuts. You guys need to consider the fact that maybe nobody wants Dez!!!!

Thompson played better than Austin last year. Watch the tape. Stupid to pay Austin 4 times as much as Thompson. Hopefully they restructure Austin.

I’m thinking the Cowboys are going to use Austin as an RB in a Lance Dunbar role. He had 59 rushing attempts last year for the Rams averaging 4.6 a carry.

 

[LandryFan]

I highly doubt we give up on Switzer after one year.

I don’t think we should consider Austin a receiver, he will be more like Dunbar and won’t have much of an impact on the WR depth chart.

Something tells me we should be looking at which RB will go, rather than which receiver. I think he'll be used more in that type of role...but what do I know?

 

[CCBoy]

You can roll him up and stick up your.............fantasy team. Lol

That guy hasn't let a positive comment slip out for about three years now...

 

[Captain43Crash]

He has speed..... idk what else though.

Not much. If the Rams young innovative coach couldn’t figure out how to use him, how are we? Much ado about nothing.

 

[John813]

Isn't he paid way too much?

I think that's highly plausible.

 

[Bluestang]

Don't be surprised when TWill is put on IR. He's a goner.

 

[Keithfansince5]

Kinda weird to be honest.

Short guy... Lot of money.. not real productive...

The Rams coach couldn’t figure out how to use him... I don’t know how we will either.

Hopefully to try some deep routes a couple times a game

 

[Silver Surfer]

Austin is TRASH!

Well... that's a highly insightful review. For argument's sake, let's say he is. By all estimates, he'll blow up and down the field faster than Dez.

 

[StylisticS]

Noah Brown just fell off the roster

Don't think this affects him.

 

[dwreck27]

Love this.... typical Patriots move getting a talented player for nothing and doing something with them(or cutting them)

We do this move and the fan base freaks out and wants to burn their jerseys about losing a 6th round pick

 

[Captain43Crash]

This move is all about converting 3rd down and short. Which the FO is thinking we will be in a lot with our improved OL. Throw out Bease and Switz in the slot and Austin out of the backfield. One of them is going to beat that nickel or dime DB and get open.

You think our coaches will finally put Beas and Switzer on the field at the same time. Maybe without Witten it could happen. Our 3rd down O could be known as NE South.

Don't be surprised when TWill is put on IR. He's a goner.

Definitely. Hurns, Gallup, Bease, Thompson/Brown, Switzer

Zeke, Austin, RSmith with Olawale as an emergency RB.

Schultz/Rico with Swaim and Jarwin

Not sure how good it is but it is 100% different, that’s for sure. We’ll see how it goes I guess....I’d be more confident if someone else was calling plays and designing the offense

 

[CyberB0b]

Isn't he paid way too much?

Yes, but why does it matter?

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Judging by some comments, I think some folks need to research Rams issues over the years to put things in better perpective..

Can't just stick ur nose in a stat book

 

[Cap12]

Don't love the Austin Trade. Now they have 9 guys in the WR room (counting Lance Lenoir). I guess they're using the spaghetti approach, but not sure who'll still be standing when the dust clears (other than Hurns and Gallop, I guess).

 

[Silver Surfer]

Latest info on Austin. Cowboys only owe him $3M, with the possibility of owing another $1M. Total possible salary: $4M.

 

[conner01]

Terrance Williams days as a Cowboy are done.

Next year, yes and we got Gallup to replace him
They aren’t cutting a guy with a guaranteed contract

 

[Tass]

Soooo...we have three WRs shorter than 5'10"?

What kind of offense are we trying to create here?
