As always, there's usually a reason why teams get rid of these guys. Especially Seattle, who knows what they're doing and you know didn't want to let go of a second round pick unless they felt they had to.

@RapSheet: The #Cowboys have cut RB Christine Michael and CB Corey White, source said. Both for playing and locker room reasons.

 

[Midswat]

Bs.

You're not sending a message cutting these guys and letting Hardy stay.

 

[bbgun]

locker room reasons

so how did Hardy survive the cut?

Exactly. Sending a message. Ha! On the day after the whole media world attacks Garrett for the fraud he is, suddenly two players are cut. And they are cut from the two positions that Jason cares the least about: the running game and the secondary. The problem with the Cowboys right now is they are not producing in their offense which is primarily centered around a WR route scheme. Send a message by cutting the players that are not producing the critical gains that make points.

Hmmm.

Team mouthpiece versus Rapoport. Tough choice.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I wouldn't even doubt if they have different sources within the team. One says it was only that they couldn't play, one more Garrett-oriented wants to claim this is some tough show of discipline.

Did Michael meet the criteria for the trade?

The accountability is in full effect right now. Garrett is sending a message!

"If you are a JAG and Jerry will let me, I will cut you for not playing up to our high standards!!!"

DING!

Wag the dog.

That's what I was wondering. I've read the compensation was a conditional 7th, but I'm not sure what the conditions are. David Moore is reporting the 7th is all we're giving up... so was it going up to a 6th rounder or higher if he was on the roster for the next game?

 

[cmd34]

I thought it was something like a 7th rounder if he was on the gameday roster for 6 games.

3 games, lost the player and the pick.

They're getting better, a few years ago this would have been a first round pick

baby steps people, baby steps...

What a stupid organization.

Fucking Aaron Hernandez straight killed a dude (or 3) and the Pats went and won the super bowl. We lose Murray and it completely destroys the team. Not to mention, no semblance of a viable contingency plan even though they had about 5 months notice.

We just can't have nice things in Dallas

 

[bbgun]

christ, if you lose the pick then keep the guy and get your money's worth

 

[cmd34]

We went from "We're good at RB. Anyone can run behind this line"

to being one Darren McFadden hamstring tweak away from starting a guy who had zero career starts at Ohio State.

 

[UVAwahoos]

Oh yeah I would have run that clown until he tore both ACLs for that price. We have no viable backup RB now either. I'm sure noodle leg McFadden is gonna last.

 

[Scot]

so how did Hardy survive the cut?

Because he's productive. Granted he isn't as productive as he can be or as we'd hoped. But he does lead the team in sacks

Sav but true on the Jerry part
