Cowboys continuing their purge of the defense

They have informed both Dontari Poe and Daryl Worley that they will be released if the team is unable to trade them today

To follow this up - Poe was released

Jerry Jones said it was because he was fat and sucked.

He also started to say the truth but caught himself - where Poe was also released because he took a knee during the national anthem

This is the Jets we're talking about.  There's no reason they can't pick first in 2021 AND 2022.

the ultimate impasse.  Lawrence keeps taking gut classes to keep from graduating while the Jets keep tanking for the #1 overall pick

Based on Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Everson Griffen, and Dontari Poe all combining to not make it halfway through the season w/ the team, does Jerry Jones have the ability to release himself from the Cowboys?

This is quite the debacle.

Random things you learn

I had no idea the Giants had Alfred Morris on the practice squad

Only reason I now know is Devonta Freeman is out for Monday so Morris is getting elevated from the practice squad to be the backup

Garrett Gilbert

I was trying to remember why I had heard of Gilbert "recently" and it was because he was the best QB in the AAF last year

Take that for what it is worth

The NFL, in their ongoing effort to show they're very extremely serious about player safety, and don't at all base punishments on the name of the victim, has fined Jon Bostic $12,000 for his vicious, illegal hit on Andy Dalton.

Basically the story is this - since Miami owns Houston's 1st and 2nd round picks in the upcoming draft - because the Texans suck, they want to know if Tua sucks because theoretically they would be in position to draft another QB if necessary

Quote

One factor that contributed to the Miami Dolphins' decision to name rookie Tua Tagovailoa as their starting quarterback was the fact that Miami owns the Houston Texans' first- and second-round picks in next year's NFL draft, league sources told ESPN.

The Dolphins need to know what they have in Tagovailoa as they enter the 2021 draft with two picks in each of the first two rounds, courtesy of their trade last year that sent left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Texans.

"That's definitely a part of it," one source close to the Dolphins' thinking told ESPN, regarding Miami's recent decision to replace popular veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick with Tagovailoa. "Whoever told you that is right."

Those extra picks from Houston, which both could potentially be high selections within their respective rounds, made it as important as ever for Miami to get a read on Tagovailoa. Houston is one of five NFL teams with only one win this season, and those teams are vying with the league's only winless team, the New York Jets, for the No. 1 pick.

Because they have Houston's first-round pick, the Dolphins could be in prime position for one of the draft's top-rated quarterbacks, be it Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, Ohio State's Justin Fields or North Dakota's Trey Lance.

Yeesh. I know teams aren't patient anymore, but you've got to give a guy more than a few games. . . 

Yes and no.  Some people don't have it and it's apparent immediately.  Either way, it's smart to know what you have in Tua and evaluate his strengths and weaknesses before drafting the pieces you want to put around him.
