2026 Cowboys Cuts/Signings/Practice Squad Thread...

The Fan has some Pittsburgh local media guy on and he said Broderick Jones couldn't lift weights and lost a ton of weight and strength. Said he doubted Jones even weighed 300 lbs now.

Not that it's a surprise, but really glad we got Anthony Smith back.

I am too. IF it wasn't for other guys having great preseason's I actually liked what I saw from Anthony Smith. And I think if he works hard he could become a pretty good WR. Deep speed is always desired. He showed me better hands and route running than I was expecting. I think a year of perfecting his craft and he may be able to make a legit run at an NFL roster spot. Practice squad is perfect for him.

But again, nobody knew that.

If we knew, he wouldn’t have been released. If ANYONE else knew, they would have claimed him.

So it was all just luck?

If anyone knew, we should have. We drafted him from a small school, knew he was talented but raw, developed him, he was good on special teams... everything was on track. So I still say it was dumb to release him.

Damn. You are looking for any and every angle to bitch about this for some reason. Have at it. I’m done.

I mean I remember last year bitching that he was better than Tolbert, he just didn't have the stats to back it up yet. I certainly saw it.

But I don't think other NFL teams are really paying that close of attention to WR 6, 7 and 8 on all 31 other teams. Lots of guys slip through the cracks. There are only 3 preseason games to watch. Teams aren't reading every Cowboys blog to hear about how guys are performing at practice.
 
I actually do think Milton earned a spot on the 53, and would have kept him there as the third QB. They don’t need the like 8 safeties they kept.

But Howell is the #2. They must have been comfortable exposing Milton to waivers. Better than the opposite.

Agreed. He can take Mingo’s or Turpin’s spot next year.

No team was likely to claim him either, but if he was better in practices than Milton, so be it.

Yeah Broaddus and his cronnies are going with he asked for his release and the Cowboys just granted it. Hopefully they are full of shit like they normally are. Because that would be a terrible decision in my opinion.

It is weird that Schotty went from, both guys are still competing for #2, to Milton is cut.
