[h=1]JAGUARS WAIVE BARRY CHURCH; COULD COWBOYS BRING HIM BACK?[/h] December 14, 2018

Veteran safety Barry Church was released today by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Could he return home to the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent his first seven seasons?

Despite his leadership and consistency on defense, Dallas allowed Church to leave in free agency when Jacksonville gave him a lucrative deal. But if he clears waivers, could the Cowboys consider bring him back for depth and support during their likely playoff run?

Jane Slater of the NFL Network reported on this potential reunion.

The Cowboys have had solid play from their current starting safeties, Jeff Heath and Xavier Woods. Neither is a star, but the duo has not been a liability during the team's current five-game winning streak.

Church was a similar player, reliable if never exceptional, during his time in Dallas. He could be a nice insurance policy for the playoffs if something happened to one of the starters.

Barry knows the system. He never played for Kris Richard, but he was with Rod Marinelli for three seasons before leaving in free agency.

According to reports out of Jacksonville, Church is being released because the team wants to go with younger, cheaper players now that their season is over. There is no known injury keeping Barry from playing.

Of course, Dallas would have to make room on the roster to pick Church up. They could third-year prospect Darian Thompson, who is the current fourth man at safety.

Barry Church must now go through the 24-hour waiver process. A team may claim him, including the Cowboys. We'll see what the future holds.

Not sure Church provides any upgrade over what we already have.

I couldn't wait to get rid of his ass last time. I wouldn't bring him back, but who knows what they'll do?

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

No reason to have him here. He’s slow and bad in coverage. We have better players on the roster.

Hard pass. Our starting safeties are better and we have no idea how to use veterans as role players. It would be waste of a roster spot.

As soon as I saw the news this afternoon I knew the speculation would start at some point. No interest here but I'm not one of the dunderheads running the team either.
