Cowboys cut four

No shockers here, but the Dallas Cowboys released four players today:

CB Quincy Butler
P Jay Ottovegio
WR Daniel Polk
QB Jeff Terrell

Butler, a TCU product, was injured for much of the preseason and faced improved corner depth. He could catch on elsewhere.

Ottovegio showed some promise as a punter and kickoff man, but with Nick Folk at kicker and Mat McBriar at punter, there simply wasn't room for him of the roster. Expect him to get a good look from other teams.

Terrell, the former Princeton standout, really didn't ever have a shot to make the team. He was an extra arm brought in for camp.

And Polk, well, it doesn't say much for him when he is cut after the team suffers injuries to its number four and five receivers.

Tomorrow, the roster must be trimmed to 75, but the Cowboys are already there by also coming to an injury settlement with fullback Ronnie Cruz.

The Cowboys have to cut the roster down to the regular season 53 on Saturday.

 

[CATCH17]

Who ever picks up Quincy Butler is going to be happy with the depth he'll provide on their roster.

Its to bad he got hurt in camp. Either way I dont think he would make the roster.

[Yeagermeister]

I'm sure Parcells....I mean Ireland has already called his agent.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Who ever picks Quincy's Butt is going to be happy with the depth he'll provide for their peanut collection.

Fixed.

I always read good things about Quincy Butler in the offseason, but I never saw anything in the preseason.

ah man you guys are funny.

I think HoS prediction was dead on.

Not dead on but yea accurate end of the roster guys.

His picks....
QB, Jeff Terrell
G, Adam Stenevich
C, Ryan Gibbons
NT, Junior Siavii
ILB, Tyson Smith

We ended up getting rid of the guys who couldn't practice because of injury or snaps.

Makes sense considering we'll use a lot of total spares fpr the last pre-season game to avert injuries to real players.

When Miami picks Quincy's Butt they're going to be happy with the depth he'll provide for their peanut collection.

When those other 4 guys join Jeff Terrell on the Waiver wire before Saturday I promise not to pull a Nors and thump my chest that I was right on all 5.

IF any of those guys make the roster something went seriously wrong.

Stephen jones did include tyson smith on his list of players who improved the denver week and last week in practice. I dont know that he has any shot of the practice squad though.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

nothing unexpected in that group

I meant to ask you, theebs... Did you happen to save that Score with the Stephen interview? I guess DC.com isn't saving them anymore, and I couldn't find anything on the CBS 11 site.

 

[CATCH17]

I always read good things about Quincy Butler in the offseason, but I never saw anything in the preseason.

Because he was hurt.

Last year he did a solid job when he played.

Butler can be a 4th or 5th corner for someone.

Pirecells.
