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

[Simpleton]

I hear you, but the thought began with finding CB depth and I agree depth is not what we need

Which brought me to what we do need

I agree that we don't have an elite number 1 type, and actually have decent enough depth, although it's not something I'd necessarily prioritize next offseason over other areas, OT namely.

One other random thought, I give the organization (Schottenheimer, Stephen, whoever) credit for getting rid of Blue. He was clearly a bit of a Johnny Fuckaround and I appreciate them not wasting any more time with him if they weren't happy with what they were seeing out of his approach/mentality.

It wasn't anything glaringly obvious like with Diggs, but if you add up all the little things (Gucci cleats, soft fumbles, etc.) it was kind of obvious. And on the field he never developed into more than a specialty player, maybe if he comes back on the PS it'll light a bit of a fire and he gets more serious.

I mean I know Davis was kind of a fuckup early in his career. He has come a long way to where he is now. You hope that if Blue gets on the practice squad that Davis can sort of be a living example for him. Odds are at some point this season we will need another RB. I doubt we go the whole year with no injuries to Jevonte or Davis. So if the plan is Luepke, Davis and Jevonte to start the season, whoever is the RB on the practice squad will likely get a shot at some point.

I think the idea is that they're probably fine with keeping any 1-2 of the three they cut on the PS in case of emergency, without too much of a preference.

I'm sure they'd like to keep Blue on the PS more than the other two just because of his potential, but the difference is probably marginal, which is why they cut all three.

Or maybe we eye another RB to add. I'm not really sure who though.

I don't really care what they do short of some kind of trade because the PS stuff is whatever, but they need to focus on ways to situationally get Davis and Luepke a few touches a game.

Last year Dak had the second most rushing attempts at 53, Davis had 52. I get that the offense was always under pressure to score every drive with our shit hole defense, so I get always having your top guy in, but assuming we have a normal defense this year there's no excuse for not getting Davis and Luepke a combined 12 or so touches per game to limit the wear and tear on Williams.

I think one of the big things with Blue is they couldn't trust him in pass protection, that's not as much of an issue with Davis and Luepke.

End of the day Dallas can find a Blue, Mafah, or Anaconda from any practice squad across the league if the need arises.

“Average RB” is a position of great surplus.

I agree. Although I always tho8ght Blue could bring something a little unique with his speed and route running ability. Never really saw Dallas try to use him that way. Those aren't always skills super easy to find on a practice squad. But otherwise I agree with you. Lots of tough runners in the NFL that don't give you a lot more than just that.
