Crazy. Still bothers me we cut that one guy who plays at a position of need and he's a back up in Dal and scored a TD vs us last year.

Well. We have a habit of doing that. Remember that Cowboys All-Pro Nate Newton was cut by us in training camp?

Newton was almost a Washington Redskin. He signed with the Cowboys' rival in 1983, but was cut by then-coach Joe Gibbs.

"Hey, man, I cut myself with the Redskins," he told Baltimore Sun reporter Vito Stellino in 1993. "I was immature. My mind wasn't right. Coach [Joe] Gibbs actually called me in to his office my second week and told me I had a great opportunity. I wasn't real focused. I was a little wild. I didn't have my mind right," he said.

Did Gibbs regret the move?

"I'd say we made a mistake on that one," he told Stellino.

It's why I've said some guys just need to go somewhere else to get their head on straight. Sucks we had to be the one to cut him, but it is what it is.
