RELEASED Travis Frederick Is Retiring

[Carson]

i just looked at FA,there are none even worth considering..we are replacing him internally or with the draft.

Jumbo Joe or McGovern

 

[JBS]

Theoretically , now dak can ask for 47M a year

 

[big dog cowboy]

At least he decided on this a few weeks before the draft.

 

[Risen Star]

World is a very different place than a month ago.

Don't blame the man for getting perspective.

LOL

 

[cej757]

Still remember him yelling at the sideline after that run that got stuffed against Minnesota. Gonna miss Frederick.

 

[DanA]

It was in November and the recovery time now is about six months, so he should be fine for camp.

Not everybody is Adrian Peterson. Six months is hella short for an ACL.

 

[Beaker42]

Wow.

&*^%. Just @&$^. Guess our starting C is Joe Looney.

 

[John813]

Cowboys wouldn't of done anything in fa anyways if he retired a month ago

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Not everybody is Adrian Peterson. Six months is hella short for an ACL.

Right, but six months from Williams' injury will still be just May. He's got time to recover.

 

[Idgit]

Too soon Idgit, too soon!

Let’s get this party started already. What’re we waiting for?!?

 

[Beaker42]

This one stings. Only 29 one of the Captains of the O-Line. Great locker room guy.

Now we gotta burn a pick on another Center.

Maybe not. Looney did well when he was in there.

 

[jnday]

The CAP gets treated the same as if he got cut or traded. He will count $11 million against our CAP this year but will be completely off the books next year. Sucks because we could have used that $11 million of CAP space.

That rule really needs to change. Retirement should be treated differently.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

Damn I came back to check on Poe status and saw this. Massively disappointing.

 

[dwreck27]

Ouch, this is even worse news:

Ouch!

I knew we would not be getting anything in terms of “relief”

That’s why I hate these restructure.. “kick the can down the road deals” like Romo

just front load those contracts bite the bullet initially and get flexibility after that

 

[Swagger]

Fair play to him - end of the day health/family come first.

I respect his decision and years of immense quality he gave to the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Really sucks i like that guy.

 

[Beaker42]

Thanks for waiting until the first wave of free agency was over!

Don’t recall any top tier C’s that were out there?

 

[bayeslife]

The dead money really sucks more than anything else. Thems the breaks.

 

[maryquality]

Oh wow!!! Did not see this coming!!! I'm so sad to hear this!! Wishing Frederick all the best in his retirement.

 

[Risen Star]

Should be great facing that Cox/Hargrave duo this year.
