Marcus Spears & Gerald Sensabaugh likely done in Dallas

by JimmyK on Feb 28, 2011 4:37 PM EST

Earlier today, the Redskins cut Clinton Portis, and now there are reports that the Cowboys are going to let Marcus Spears and Gerald Sensabaugh test the free agent waters, if free agency actually occurs. Sensabaugh was signed by the Cowboys before the 2009 season and played well his first year in Dallas. Then, like the rest of the Cowboys secondary in 2010, his play fell off despite posting a career high 5 interceptions.

Spears was a first round pick of the Cowboys in 2005, and never lived up to his potential. If anyone (and this includes any Cowboys fans that may be reading) can name me one big play Spears made in his entire NFL career, please list it below in the comment section. (Cue the sound of crickets chirping).

The Cowboys likely decision to cut bait with Spears isn't a shock in the slightest, although I am moderately surprised that they reportedly don't even plan to make Sensabaugh an offer. Even with his down year, Sensabaugh is at least an NFL starting-caliber safety on a team that doesn't currently have any others.

on paper it looks like the cowboys are getting worse, but it was just the year before they put together a pretty good season. so i guess with good coaching you nver know

Dallas has no idea how to build a team. Are these guys all-starts? Absolutely not but they’re solid players and when your defense is as terrible as their defense is, you don’t get rid of solid players.

Might it have more to do with money, though?

Their contracts are expiring but the Cowboys are just letting them walk.

I wouldn’t mind picking up Sensabaugh. Dude had 5 interceptions, and 2 sacks. It wouldn’t be a bad idea since we keep hearing that we’re more than likely not bringing Mikell back.

Much rather have Mikell back. Much much rather.

Until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached, no free agents can be signed and no players can be traded.:3™

Like he cares.

I know why they cut those players...

Jones is trying to make people think about something other than how he screwed over people that bought superbowl tickets to seats that had’nt been built yet. Which he did because his ego thought it was a good Idea to try and break the attendance record at the last minute.
