Wow. That's kind of crazy. Was he healthy and producing?

Healthy? Yes
Producing? No

Dude fell off when he got his big contract in 2018. Missing tackles, blowing coverages CONSISTENTLY. That being said, I’m very surprised they did cut him knowing that he wasn’t the liability he was in the past now that Parsons took his spot and he’s playing a backup role now. Plus his contract is guaranteed this season as well.

That's what I was thinking. I don't see the upside in cutting him now unless he was a cancer in the locker room.

You seem angry. Miserable, even.

Didn't they just extend him for big money at the start of the season? This was a weird move.
Actually by not cutting him prior to the season his ‘21 deal became guaranteed. Plus he had a $7.2M guarantee built in for 2022 if he were injured this season. He was getting about 10 plays a game and was essentially the #4 LB on the roster. Cowboys are getting Keanu Neal back from the COVID list plus there is a feeling that Quinn wants Jabril Cox on the field more.

Most of us Cowboys fans thought Jerry would never pull the plug. Still a little surprised that he agreed to it. But the bottom line is he’s not as good as people outside of Dallas want to believe he is. The tape is out there. The timing is the only thing that doesn’t make sense.

Hey now! He had great hair!

It’s possible he could’ve asked to be released since he saw himself as a starter and wasn’t getting enough snaps in his clear eyed view, Dan Quinn disagreed and Smith was like duces.

The 2021 salary was fully guaranteed and there were no guarantees for 2022. This move makes sense if he wasn't good enough to be on the roster, he was a cancer inside the organisation, or if there are off-sets in his contract should he sign for another team. The later seems most likely.

He's a guy that dominated in college due to being a physical freak. Made up for a lot of bad reads/angles, he was able to blow past or run over lineman to get in the backfield. Now that lack of awareness and smarts is exposed because everyone he plays against is a physical freak.

He's been pretty bad for the past few years. I am not surprised he was cut. I thought it would maybe happen before the start of the season.

"And here he is, the new middle linebacker of your Philadelphia Eagles, #9, ..."

followed of course by RTK calling him the best LB in the league...

he did a lot of gloating about himself for a player everyone wanted cut!
