After releasing Roy Williams and with Keith Davis shopping his services on the free agency market, the Cowboys had a need for some safety help. According to the DMN blog they got it by way of a former Jacksonville Jaguar.
The Cowboys took a step toward filling a hole in their secondary by agreeing to terms with safety Gerald Sensabaugh on a one-year deal Tuesday.
Sensabaugh, 25, started a career-high 13 games last season in Jacksonville and was credited with 82 tackles to go with four interceptions and four pass deflections. A fifth-round pick in 2005 by the Jaguars, Sensabaugh played in 50 games with 24 starts and had 168 tackles and six interceptions.
Sensabaugh has played for new special teams coach Joe DeCamillis and for Dave Campo in the past. So the Cowboys should know what they're getting. Sensabaugh has had some legal issues in the past, mainly for driving violations and guns.

Man I need to work on my proof reading that last one should have ended with a question mark.

That's funny....
BTW, what’s the deal with football players and guns? I just don’t get it.
They have a lot of money and want to protect it, their families, and themselves...

I understand that but.....
there are other ways to protect yourself than carrying around guns like security guards etc. You don’t have to go around with a gun in your pants.
yeah but his guns were for glamor
an AK47, a 22 glock… those are show-off weapons
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 12:42 PM CDT up reply actions
and the big problem was the brainiac didn't have them registered
it’s pretty foolish to have a weapon like an AK-47 and not think it MUST be registered

The guns were registered but his driver's license was suspened.

This guy sounds like another real mature guy
to add to our team. I guess we should call him little Pac Man-just joking.
i live in vegas and i have an ar-15, h&k p2000sk,sig 229,glock 23, and a xd9
i also have a permit to carry concealed. so i don’t think i would call them show off weapons, i just think that if your into guns and you carry for protection the you should carry as best a weapon as you can afford. i forgot to mention my sks..which is the same caliber as an ak…i think if your a jacka** like plaxico and you shoot yourself showing off then you have a problem…but the gun laws very from county to county so he might have had them reg. in one place and then move.. who knows..but we need the help safety..

...try harder.
It’s pretty foolish to make a comment like that when you apparently don’t have any clue about either Florida laws or Texas laws.
Hint: there is no gun registration, even for “AK-47s” (which this was NOT an actual AK-47, i.e. full-auto, because if it were he would be in Federal prison) in either Florida or Texas.
The only gun-related thing that he was arrested for was apparently carrying concealed without a permit, which was pretty stupid on his part, because Florida permits are fairly easy to get as long as you don’t have a criminal record…which he does now. It still doesn’t bar him from owning any of the firearms that were in his car.
In fact, it’s stupid that they were even mentioned in the article, as there was nothing even remotely illegal about having them. They might as well have listed the entire contents of the car…“his car also contained an emergency toolkit, a road map, and a box of suspicious Kleenex”. Yeah, that’s news.
crap i gotta get rid of my suspicious box of kleenex too.
Don't believe everything you think.
Your causes are cute!!!
He had 3 guns....
AK47 – 30 round clip – glamor or great home protection
Glock 22 – 15 rounds of .40 cal – personal protection
Bersa 380 – 7 rounds of .380 – a little bit better than a water pistol
I had to carry AK47
for two years, not by my own choice and I can tell you this:
unless you plan to fight RAMBO or TALEBANS, AK47 is a no use to protect yourself from “people that shot S Taylor” haha small potatoes.
The guy is either showing off in a stupid way or he is plain stupid. Give me TO over any loving gum football player, I have no problem if somebody wants to win and complains when loosing.
How 'bout in America??
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
That is true but I think that a lot of these guys.....
tend to hang out in places where they are asking for trouble. It’s not so much the “gun” per se, it’s the places and crowds that they are hanging out that seems to be the problem. A lot of these guys don’t seem to get it, but when you start making lots of money, you need to be careful where/when you hang out and with whom you hang out with.
i can understand your point..
but just because you carry a gun doesn’t make you a bad person, and who’s not had there registration suspended in there life for one reason or another…i carry now and i make no where near the money these guys make…so my pint is its easy to judge someone from a newspaper article but he may be the nicest guy in the world…who knows?

I guess they just want to protect themselves
from guys like those idiots that took out Sean Taylor – I don’t blame them, I’d arm myself, too.
To be honest...I am very SHOCKED they chose to sign this guy. So much for cleaning up the teams image.
Say what you will about Pacrat Jones, this guy has actually commited, and was convicted of crimes. Dude…If your a millionaire, and driving around in a Bentley on a suspended license, you got serious issues. !!! Then you throw assault rifles in the back seat, you got major problems. !!!
I knew of this guy from day one on the free agent market, but never in a million years thought Jerry would bring this guy in with his severely questionable background.
I like the player, and I’m glad we addressed the SS spot, but this move brings with it a major RED flag, and not the message he’s been preaching…

it's not the image that bothers me
it’s the stuff that creeps up that keeps players off the field – and this guy seems like a knuckle head not a bad guy

they cut pacman because pacman was unreliable; TO cause of the locker room, Tank because he was mediocre at best
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 2:27 PM CDT up reply actions
Plus, you can't compare this guy to Pac, Tank or TO.
Sounds like he’s going to be a special teams guy at best. He’s not going to get the pub. that Pac, TO and Tank got.
He’s not going to be talking to the media. No one’s going to know who he is.
Any other problems and the dude’s gonna get cut. And no one’s going to care.
It’s ok to have a couple minor knuckle-heads on your team.
I don't know about that....
if you read DC.com he very well could be more than special teams. He very well may be replacing KD, Pat Watkins etc. In 2007 he was supposed to be the starter for the Jags but he ended up getting hurt. He was the starter last year. My point is, don’t just assume he’s being brought in for special teams
This guy's going to start at SS this year for the Cowboys
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
You won't care any more than I do
if they win a SB next year. I want to win above all else including character issues, etc. If your only concern is they can’t win a SB with him because he has guns in his backseat and a suspended license, then it’s a bad signing.
Otherwise knock it off with the moral high ground. You think a single Steeler fan who is against smoking pot asked for the Steelers to cut Holmes?
At least we have another starter at Safety.
I’m all for making Scandrick a safety but they shouldn’t overwhelm him with the starting position until he has a few games of experience under his belt.
I was ready to overwhelm Scandrick, he seems like a player
who responds well to challanges
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 12:18 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
problem is
that Ball would enter thestarting lineup, and we’d be a newman injury away from catastrophe.
I was ok with that
Newman, as our best CB, losing him is a big blow to the D anyway -
One thing I don’t want to lose in Scandrick though is his man to man coverage skills which I think are pretty good
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 12:20 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think this puts Scandrick on the bench
it gives Dallas flexibility in nickel packages.
Think back to the ’90s. Woody played S on 1st and 2nd downs and slid to the slot on passing downs, as the team brought in another S to play with James Washington or George Teague.
Same thing here. Sensabaugh will be the nickel safety.
This is bad news for Pat Watkins.

The dude made a mistake.
If he continues to head down the wrong path — cut him. It’s as simple as that.
It’s not like their investing a lot in him, and he’s not going to get all the negative publicity that all the other thugs get.
I agree but with Woody's help and a good offseason and TC he could improve his learning curve.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Woody's help??
Are you talking about Woodson?? And is he on the coaching staff now and I missed it?? I thought he was still an analyst for BSPN.

Woody has met with Scandrick this past monday and will provide some mentoring.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Really?? That's great
Personally, I think Woodson would make a great safeties or DB’s coach. Wish we could pry him away from BSPN.

I know zero about this guy
Honestly hadn’t heard of him before, but if he started, and isa reliable special teamer, i guess its not bad. I don’t like that he has a record, but at the same timeI don’t have a major problem with it, like the tank signing.
I remember when he was drafted
I thought he’d be an option back in 2005. Kiper had him rated the #3 best overall safety prospect. Definitely an in the box safety even then. Ran a 4.50 at the combine so he has some speed for a SS. He’s certainly the 2nd best safety on our roster automatically by far.

and like KHam
a smart S can help ‘field general’ the secondary and make sure everyone else is lined up right
If he scored 46..
.. he is an intelligent kid. He might be making dumb decisions as a 24-25 year old, but he sounds like he is bright. I’m not making excuses for him, just trying to imagine myself when I was 25 if I had a Bently and a million dollars. I did some pretty dumb #$% driving an old Jeep and barely making ends meet. I’m lucky to be alive.

The DMN is going through TO withdrawls, one guy even had a small poll to see if their
viewers would still want them to cover TO’s every move, it was met with a resounding NOOOOOO. Even after that Calvin still ran two stories after that “poll”. I imagine they are going to have a tough time coming up with news unless they manage to get Greg and Terrance to talk to them more often.

Signing not so Sensa-ble?
So much for Jerry avoiding trying to avoid players with off field problems. That didn’t take long. Three arrests since 2007. Driving around in a car with three loaded weapons, including an AK-47? Maybe he was just looking to protect himself, sorta like Plaxico. What a joke. I don’t care if he aced the wonderlic or not, seems like an idiot to me.
One of the arrests was for doing wheelies on a motorcycle.
If Kellen Winslow had been arrested for that, it might of saved his knee and he’d of had one more year of NFL production

The gun was licsensed, maybe he was going to a shooting range, Tank did not have any
more law troubles with dallas, and it is a one year deal going to a team with two coaches who know him. Tank was a pick of necessity when JF went down in 07, this guy is a known commodity to Joe D. and Dave C.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Yeah...going to a range with a loaded AK-47
I’m sure that’s what happened (sarcasm). With all the other DB’s and ST guys out there, why sign this guy? Most people had never even heard of him. If nothing else, don’t do it for the sake of perception. Just not worth the risk.

Jerry wants to make sure we stay in the news this week-lol
Gotta keep the presses moving
Which other guy do you want?
He sounds like a knucklehead to me too. But he also sounds like A LOT of pampered young guys in the NFL that make bad decisions. I’m not a shooter but if he is, I can definately see the gun being loaded on his way to a range. Yes it’s dumb and careless but I was REALLY dumb when I was in my early 20’s. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a thug.

umm
i frequent the gun range every now and then with friends but we all know that you put the weapons in the trunk and have the rounds in some sort of container.
Maybe he can change Maybe not.. but arrested 3 times in 3 years doesnt sound like someone who is learning form their mistakes.
What the French?! Toast!
And I guess you're doing it the right way
I acknowledged he was wrong, my point was I bet there are a lot of people who are more careless than you who are recreational shooters and not thugs

well even the gun thing asside
being arrested 3 times in 3 years is inexcusable by my book.

The news article doesn't say that the AK47 was loaded...
Guns were found in Sensabaugh’s possession during Friday’s arrest as well. According to police, he had a Bersa 380, an International Arms AK-47 and a Glock 22 in the car. But jail officials say this time Sensabaugh was not charged for having guns in his car.

What' the risk?
It’s a one year deal.
the guys is signed to provide depth. He’s going after Pat Watkins spot.
That would be great news to see him take Pat Watkins spot....
Do you think that we will still try and get a FA or go thru the draft/Scandrick
I still think they'll go high or a S if one they like
matches their picks.
No football risk...
Short deal, probably got him on the cheap, and we sure need help at the position. I’m not really upset by the signing, just wondering Jerry signed him after he went out of his way to improve the image and chemistry on the team. I think it sends mixed messages. It’s not like this kid is the second coming of Ed Reed to justify the gamble. And I don’t know if there’s any legs to the report that he may be suspended, but that would certainly be troubling if true.

Every time I looked at available FA safeties, I kept thinking the same thing. He’s young, he’s talented, too bad he’s a knucklehead.
Campo and the new ST coach vouched for this kid. So maybe he just made some immature decisions and it’s not as bad as it looks. At least he’s not beating women or inciting strip club melee’s.
Anyway, they filled a spot with a young player who looks good on the field.

I was just listening to Sirius....
and they were saying that it was a really good signing. They said he has lots of potential if he can get his act together. As I said earlier, Campo knows him pretty well and so I think we have to trust him on this one.
I guess I do appear fickle
I just saw 3 arrests in 3 years and gun charges, and thought, this guy is a bonehead.
But after reading about what happened, the circumstances are not nearly as bad as I thought. For as talented as he is, and as small as his contract is, it’s well worth it.
Plus Campo and DeCamillas must know him pretty well. If they thought he was a bad kid, they would have advised Jerry to stay away.

I’m just like you. I was talking to myself as well. I just find it ironic that we(myself included) can justify players when they are on our team. A good example for myself was Michael Irvin. If he was on any other team, I would have despised him. Since he was a Cowboy, I took up for the guy and defended him. I’m pretty fickled myself. I do draw the line though with the PacMan’s of the world. Being accused of shooting someone is entirely different than destroying your own life with drugs and women.

I hate to compare this guy to Pacman, but that was a huge question when he came to Dallas, whether or not he’d have to face suspension. But Jerry knew he wasn’t or else he wouldn’t have brought him in in the first place. I think the same will go with this guy. Jerry probably wouldn’t have brought him to town without having a little previous knowledge…

Why the 1 year contract for a 25 year old starter on a pretty good defense? Is he really a starter here?

I don't think they signed him as a sure starter
like they did Brooking and Olshansky. He is basically an in the box safety with limited range who is cheaper than RW1.
I think at the very least he’ll be a great special teams guy and best case scenario he wins the SS spot and plays well there.
In Romo we Trust
+1 Terry.....
and they may be adding him for insurance in case we lost KD as well.
+1 as well
I bet he graded out higher or the same as RW1 at a cost that better represented the value
The guy can play special teams
Roy Willie, not so much.
One year deal because of the character risk....If he shows well as a starter, and keeps clean, he'll probably get extended...
remember..Hamlin came here under same circumstance to prove himself…

Here's the ESPN Scouting Report
Sensabaugh is an intriguing, young strong safety who was injured early in the regular season. He played in only two games before being placed on season-ending injured reserve. He has been a core special teams player with good size and strength. He is an above-average athlete who is explosive and aggressive, but needs to improve at diagnosing plays. He is best suited up near the line of scrimmage against the run. He has the speed to run the alleys, while maintaining leverage on the ball carrier. He is a willing insert player who has some toughness as a tackler in open space. However, he will get over aggressive at times, while struggling to stay under control as a tackler. He is not real natural as a two-deep safety with limited downfield range. He has some stiffness in his hips and not real sudden in his transitional movement. He is more natural in short zones than deep zones and he has limited downfield range.
Don't let Grizz see this!!!
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
You could replace the name Sensabaugh in ESPN's report...
With the name Roy Williams and it sounds like the same guy.
he's younger and thinner

In Romo we Trust
All perfectly legal.
Maybe we should talk about all the other things players do that are legal. I heard he had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Amazing!
-1 You're missing the point
Yes, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired a couple of years ago, so they are technically legal in some states. So what? How many stories you read about athletes doing stupid things or putting themselves in stupid situations. You really think driving around with an AK-47 and a bunch of other weapons is a bright thing to do? Do you? You want us to sign players who lack common sense and display very poor judgment? And you equate the legality of owning an assault weapon to eating breakfast? You’re being ridiculous trying to make a point.

He had the guns
locked away in his car while he was at the barber shop. Good Grief. He wasn’t threatening the bank teller.
You can make light of it all you want...but
I don’t think it takes committing armed robbery to raise a red flag as to the character or judgment of a potential signee…

"And you equate the legality of owning an assault weapon to eating breakfast?"
You’re damn right I do. The hysteria surrounding legal gun ownership is absurd.
If you want to call the guy out for being an idiot for driving on a suspended license, carrying a concealed firearm without a permit in Florida, and popping wheelies on his motorcycle, be my guest. However, to concentrate on his behavior that was perfectly legal is pointless, and speaks more to your agenda than his judgment.
You're trying to politicize this, not me.
But we can agree to disagree. There’s more than enough issues to question this guy’s judgment.

assault weapons
were never illegal to own; just illegal to sell for a while from a federal law standpoint. Please get the facts.
Erm
Why was he available for pickup? Mediocre player?

d 4 ints last year what did roy,kd , hamlin have?
Don't believe everything you think.
Your causes are cute!!!
everything i've read about him says he has some athletic freakishness
he set the combine record for high jump. getting arrested for a suspended license is bone-headed but pretty low on the crime-scale.
I’m glad we got him — anyone got the numbers? This seems like the Ken Hamlin 1 year audition deal
This guy may get a chance to prove that...
he rode the bench because he was behind an outstanding safety in Donavan Darius in Jags-land.
I’d like to see someone throw a jump ball on him, he seems like he’d be a natural and intercepting those

I don't think he was equating his talent to Hamlin, just his contract.

At the combine...
He had a 46’’6 vertical leap. The highest ever. I was hoping we would draft him out of college.
by TheCowboyFan on Mar 10, 2009 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions
I thought he ran a 4.50 at the combine. It says here he ran a 4.44.
That’s pretty good for a safety of his size.

I'll wager right here the guy isn't cracking the starting lineup barring injury....
They tipped there hand…Hamlin will play SS and Scandrick at FS on first and second downs. He could be moved to the slot on third downs.
no....Scandrick ISN'T being considered to be a starting FS....the Star Safety is a nickle sub package, probably to be used in some 4-6 scheme...
by CowboysRnumba1 on Mar 10, 2009 2:39 PM CDT up reply actions
i'd like Scandrick as the full time FS
to keep him on the field; and Jenkins at the CB spot
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 2:51 PM CDT up reply actions
sorry...not sold on Newman and Jenkins holding up for 16 games, nor am I sold on Alan Ball being the lone back-up, and the slot-CB....
we need at least two more CB’s as it is, and you wanna take one bright young CB, and have him play another position he’s never played before?.. …interesting..
btw..I was all for having one of our young CB’s shifting over to FS,and I actually think Jenkins is better suited for the move…but now that Henry is gone…I don’t see a complete move of Scandrick to full time FS…and I don’t believe they have any plans to make him the full time Safety…..He’ll be more of a roving CB in dime packages, and our 3rd CB in nickle….as was described by him in interviews…
by CowboysRnumba1 on Mar 10, 2009 3:16 PM CDT up reply actions
ACTUALLY SCANDRICK
would be the starting FS, and the clot corner from what Woodsen has been saying, and it seems that other people seem to think so as well. It allows them to not tip their hand whether they are in a run or pass defense with Oralando on the field, either at the FS spot, or the Nickel corner.
well, Dallas always seems to draft CBs every year
what happened to Evans Oglesby btw? Is he still around?
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 5:18 PM CDT up reply actions
nope.....
They said, and even Woodson said Scrandrick will most likely start on first and second downs as a FS. Third down CB in the slot. Woodson had dinner with Scandrick last night and told him that’s what they are planning to do with him. Woodson was on DC.com talking about it today….Hamlin is going to be moved to SS..
+1 Numba......
I think Campo knows a little more about this guy than we do. Campo may not have been a great head coach but he is a very good defensive coach
Well, we all know our special teams were suspect last year.
Even if that’s all he amounts to, I like it.
Hamlin at SS and Scandrick at FS is future.....not a bad one right now
If Ball can play at a high level he should be a real good third CB.
Hamlin seems a lot more expensive now to me
when he played great in 2007 he was worth the money he got for 2008; now, not so much. Not that Dallas will cut him, we need him
by AustonianAggie on Mar 10, 2009 2:25 PM CDT up reply actions
What's wrong with Hamlin
Hamlin is a solid player.
Do fans really think
that Hamlin’s good enough against the run to start at SS the whole season?
by Thehomerpimpson on Mar 10, 2009 6:28 PM CDT up reply actions
umm..he played his best at FS in 07 earning a fat pay check and a trip to Hawaii , no ??
He was cast off and unwanted in Seattle as a SS, they signed replacement in Brian Russell I believe, expediting his exit outta there………
by CowboysRnumba1 on Mar 10, 2009 11:53 PM CDT up reply actions
Deon Grant I think
Then they badmouthed him to the press. Then last year before we played the Seahogs they started talking about how much they respected him an all that crap.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Yeah but they must have missed the mark about Brian Russell, seahag
fans have youtube dedications to the level of his suckitude and think he is worse than SS Roy W.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Scandrick has shown that he can be an effective CB. Why would you screw with that??
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
If he performs poorly next year...You may see him cut....He has alot to prove this season coming up.
He took a big step backwards….but i blame alot of that on his fellow S’s being liabilities he had to cover up for…but who knows…
The one thing that gives me some comfort on this signing..
is that we have 2 coaches that have worked directly with him. They know whether this guy is a player or a thug. No way would you sign this guy if 2 of your coaches who’ve worked with him say he’s not worth it. He’s here because Campo and Camarillo think he’s decent or better.
yeah right and Campo knew how to light up a fire under RW a%$...
not only that the guy comes with legal issues, way to go JJ cleaning up the team.
Unless...
Duke Robinson slides in.
Dallas desperatly needs a guard as well.
Webster's definition of irony: Keyshawn Johnson calling another football player selfish.
well, you got me...If Robinson is there, I would take him now that Sensabaugh's been signed...
I would then select Chip Vaughn-SS in round #3, if we took Duke in rd #2. We still need a SS regardless of this latest signing…

WWLD
I have no idea how this turned into a 2nd Amendment issue…the guy broke the law on several occassions and has a history of finding his way into jail…even if it’s only for overnighters.
The litmus test should be…WWLD – “What would Landry Do?”
No way this guy gets to wear a star.
You want to cut or downplay Hamlin now that we have this guy?…F that! Hamlin is a leader on this team and plays every down.
JJ just does not get it. I would rather have high character players lose every year than a bunch of high profile gang’stas star stud this team. What message is being sent? I thought the priority was changing the culture at Valley Ranch…no it’s just more of the same..just the names change…
Until this team puts character FIRST in the players it drafts and signs..they will continue to watch teams like Pittsburg and New England in the post season from their couches.
PUH LEASE
Landry’s teams were filled with criminals. More hardcore and socially damaging stuff than carrying some guns in the trunk too.
Hamlin could have use a gun
when he got knocked the F out with a street sign
You won’t care if we win the SB with Sensabaugh starting or playing ST. Now if he gets Pat Watkins and Ken Hamlin to go in for a special meeting about how they’re not getting enough playing time, then he’s a problem. If he accidentally shoots himself in the leg or a fellow teammate, then he’s a problem. Not until then
Insanity
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get a different results. Wake up JJ
Take a chance
Understand some of the mis-givings and would agree if he were a more costly or more important cog. He represents a filled need for what is assumed to be a fitting contract. From reading what the Jags site had to say, knowing we have a couple of coaches familiar with him, not knowing what will be available at our spot in the draft, I like it. It doesn’t hamper the draft, it doesn’t slow down any Scandrick experiment, it does insure we don’t over reach, or are left short handed.
What would happen if KDavis leaves and there isn’t value in the safety position at our pick?
Orlando Pace at LG
just kidding(kind of), imagine how mammoth our line would be if he did though, wishful thinking, I know that he is not a spring chicken, that he has been injured, and will probably cost too much for a LG, but just fantasizing before you guys bash me!
We should sign
anyone with talent and past gun problems. Texas gun laws will not bother a good number of them.
Kidding, kind of.
This says a lot about the signing...
ESPN has a story — a story involving the Dallas Cowboys, and a player who’s been arrested — and his legal issues aren’t mentioned one time in the article.
By the way, we need a nickname for this guy. I don’t like typing his name.
I haven't seen Sensabaugh make a lot of plays in the league,
but he was a beast at UNC. I like the signing. Solid depth if nothing else.

Yep, he was a beast at Carolina......
He was only there for one year though. He was at East Tennessee State (something weird like that) for 3 seasons and then transferred to Chapel Hill before his senior season. I’m pretty much a homer when it comes to tarheels.
They closed down their football program
so he transferred to UNC. Had a real good year and showed he could play against upper level competition.

how is his contract structured, can we trade him? or cut him? what a waste of
time, money, pick, roster spot…first rounders are supposed to contribute right away, something has to give
Why cut him? He is like a mil a year and if nothing else a good STer
He is also good in coverage. He does have some value to the team.
