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

[NeonNinja]

Didn't he sign a stupid contract prior to last season? What's the remainder on that? If it has term left, this trade is a head scratcher. If we can cut him and not be hurt by it, then it's small risk little reward. He was awful in STL/LA

That contract is what matters.

$3m cap hit.

All-around speed threat. ST, RB routes and of course WR.

Something is afoot. Could it be bye bye Bease the hip hop artist?

 

[Nirvana]

Those wr screens Dez was decent at - can plug Austin in on that.

 

[CWR]

I wonder if we are flipping bees for ET.


Oh come on, someone had to!

So you're saying there's a chance!!!

 

[kumizi]

He makes a lot of money..


I’m not a fan of this.. I hope I’m wrong.. He’s just not a good nfl player.

They don’t have anything else to spend their cap space on anyway. He just has a 1yr deal.

i think beasley and/or switzer are gone based on this move.


Austin gives us a speed dimension we didn't have.

I think Beasley goes.

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Where they gonna use him, on punts?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

interesting...I guess I'm stuck watching predictable jet sweeps.

LLLOOLLL

I could actually see that happening. For a guy as good as Beasley, I think Seattle could go for it.

 

[MojaveJT]

I think Beasley goes.

Gosh I hope not

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

5m for one year is awfully pricey. I don't get it.

Who cares about the cap hit? It's a one year deal, we have plenty of room (after Dez and maybe Witten) and there are no other high dollar free agents we will sign.

 

[dsturgeon]

Dak, zeke, austin, and beasley might be a dangerous combo

 

[northerncowboynation]

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.

Slot receiver. Quick, often injured. Something smells like Beasley cut

 

[Aviano90]

Bye, Cole.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Well goodbye Beasley..

Not even!!! Austin hasn’t shown much at all, but it was only a 6th round pick.

 

[mattjames2010]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's used out of the backfield more than as a slot guy - either way, for a sixth and the multiple positions he can play, I'm okay with this.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Guys need to realize they didn't want Dez here anymore that's why didn't even offer to restructure his contract or ask him to take a pay cut. They were done with him.

Surprised it took this long.

 

[OmerV]

This is a curious move. Gotta like the pure speed, but we now have 4 undersized receivers.

 

[bayeslife]

Is it worth the cap hit? Idk but I guess we can always just cut him
