    Cowboys cut Barber, release Wiliiams

    Another no-brainer cut will be made Thursday when possible: The Dallas Cowboys will cut running back Marion Barber, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Barber, who was scheduled to make $4.75 million this season including a $500,000 roster bonus, is just 28 years old. But years of running with no regard for his body have wrecked him. In 2010, Barber saw his yards-per-carry average drop to a paltry 3.3. But really, Barber has been on the downhill slide since his 975-yard, 10-touchdown season of 2007. Obviously, Felix Jones becomes the starter in Dallas backfield. Tashard Choice and rookie DeMarco Murray will chip in as well.

    The savings continue as Cowboys will release Roy Williams.
    The Dallas Cowboys have no problem playing it big on the open market. But with how they've gone about business today, it's clear they will be shooting for the moon in free agency. An active and fiscally smart day for the Cowboys just got another jolt, according to Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas. The Cowboys will cut wide receiver Roy Williams. Williams is signed through 2013 and was scheduled to make more than $5 million in base salary this season. He has also been an infamous bust with the Cowboys. The Cowboys traded three picks, including a first-rounder, for Williams in October 2008. A few days later, the parties agreed on a six-year, $54 million deal with $26 million guaranteed. In 40 games spanning three seasons in Dallas, Williams caught a total of 94 passes for 1,324 yards and 13 touchdowns.

    Only a complete sucker would sign Roy Williams for over a mil right now.

    Yeah, Barber's career gets cut short for playing too hard. That does suck.

    The days of barry sanders and emmitt smith are gone. No RB can start 10+ years now.

    especially as a RB, you need two good backs these days

    Adrian Peterson has already started the downside of his career as well, look at his numbers

    Sucks to see Barber gone. Jones is a homerun threat every time he touches the ball but is frail in between the tackles. Dallas went through too much bs to cut Williams now. Might aswell keep him and see how the season goes. I dont like ANY of the Cowboys receivers so why cut Williams?

    I think this may be a bit premature. He had to take a backseat the past 2 seasons with Favre taking snaps.

    He averages 2 fumbles per game. Imagine what would happen if he gets the ball all the time with Favre gone.

    If you are not a glory chaser, then th3e best job in the NFL is place kicking, and punting. Followed by long snapper.

    Those are all positions that require limited practice time, and little athleticism. Gary Andersen kicked for half of his life span. Only baseball careers last longer.

    nice rb combo with Jones, Choice, and Murray. Think Murray is going to surprise a lot of people.

    Cowboys releasing all them scrubs to pick up Nnamdi and Huff or Weddle. Felix the cat will finally have his chance to shine and Hurd or Ogletree will get there chance to be the number 3 unless we sign another wr.

    Cowboys are way over the cap and had to make the cuts to re-sign Free and Bowen. I think Asomougha will be out of the Cowboys range unless there is a major restructure of Romo and Ware's contracts. I know the Cowboys are seriously looking at Weddle and don't know what's gonna happen with Sensy, he wants a big payday, but think he's overestimating his own worth. Expecting a few more cuts to come down, should be interesting.

    They have to shed some weight so they can sign a qb.

    Bout time! Both are done, they have the new blood to make a good run this season. We will see what Romo does this season though.

    Let's go Cowboys, clean fukking house and pick up some decent, hungry players. Ready to see the offense this season with everyone starting out healthy. Barber was great, but his body took a beating, Felix is ready and Dez at wideout too...
