Josh Brent Retires

[Greg]

"The Cowboys officially placed Brent, 27, on their reserved/retired list Friday, the first day of their three-day rookie mini-camp at Valley Ranch."

Dallas Cowboys DT Josh Brent retires again after attempting comeback following intoxication manslaughter conviction | | Dallas Morning News

They gave him his shot at a comeback. Team could have turned their back on him after the PR hit.

Looks like we'll be bargain hunting once guys start getting cut.

Garrett: "I visited with Josh (Brent), and he has decided to retire from the NFL at this point."

"Garrett says Brent is focused more on his life away from football. Impressed at how he's recovered, wishes him well going forward"

Classy move instead of just flat out cutting him.

"Dante Fowler leaves Jags practice on cart after apparent knee injury"

Wow.

Don't show Sean Lee, he might have flashbacks

Brent was about as avg as it comes, but they will need to find a player to fill that spot you would think

I know lol...sucks getting hurt in situations like these.

Brent did not seem to want to do what it takes to get in football shape. Coleman is decent. Brent was a waste of a roster spot.

I knew we should have drafted a DT Hopefully a decent veteran gets cut so we have some depth again.

The last thing I'm going to do is complain about anything that happened in the last week for the Cowboys...

pretty muggy in Dallas today. Heat exhaustion is the word.

Cowboys waived LB Troy Davis & Donald Hawkins and released Dekota Watkins

I actually liked Dekota watkins but I guess we needed to make room for our new lb.

he was a special team guy for the most part and they brought in Brinkley & Gachkar who are better

We already have plenty of depth on the line -- once Hardy gets back.
(RDE).......(1t)..........(3t)...........(LDE)
Hardy.......Hayden.....Crawford....Lawrence
Mincey.....McClain.....Mincey........Russell

The rotation looks to be about 8 deep as of right now. There are still a bunch of other guys on the roster who could fill in what little opportunities are left over.

I'm definitely a happy camper. I thought the draft was very good -- if not excellent -- and then to land Collins was icing on the cake. I feel very good about this roster going into the season.
