S Patrick Watkins to be released

 

4 year Safety Patrick Watkins has been notified by the Cowboys organization that he will be officially released either today or tomorrow.

Star-divide

Watkins, a 5th round draft pick in 2006 by the Boy's, has been a solid contributor on Special Teams and has started 10 games for the Cowboys.

Saw the handwriting on the wall for this one.

Patrick was a good special teamer but not outstanding. He will be replaced fairly easily. Good luck Mr. Watkins, we never knew ya.

Yeah!

Saw this one coming a mile away. At least by doing it now instead of next week he has a chance of landing somewhere. Miami, anyone?

yeah

i knew this was coming as well, he just didn’t have the consistancy to be a back up let alone a starter. I really like McCray and Church as possible replacements

8 picks in that draft and only Hatcher and McQuistan remain

…and we wonder why this team lacks youth and depth in key areas.

Damn, that's ridiculous

That’s as bad as any Cowboys draft of the 1978-1985 time frame.

I hate to pack myself on the shoulder

just kidding, I love it. Here’s what I wrote in July about the class of 2006:

I think the clock may be fast running out for players from the class of 2006 who haven’t made the starting roster yet, if only because there are some younger guys in camp who today look like they might have a higher ceiling.

06 players who may be on the bubble for exactly that reason (Bobby Carpenter is gone already): Jason Hatcher, Pat McQuistan, Sam Hurd, Pat Watkins and Stephen Bowen. Then again, could one of these players become this year’s Miles Austin (also from the class of 2006)?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
