Sadly, Roy wasn't the only Cowboy to visit Valley Ranch for the final time today, Marion Barber, Leonard Davis, and Kris Brown were also told not to report to training camp in San Antonio tomorrow because they were being released.
I'm gonna miss the Barberian and his reckless running style, but I know we're gonna be fine with Felix Jones and Tashard Choice. I'll also miss big Leonard Davis. He had a bad year last year (including getting benched against Tennessee), but I'm not sure we have anybody to replace him with. Strangely, even though there's no replacement for him as of yet (and please don't say Montrae Holland because he's only 2 years younger, injury prone, and a whole lot worse), the move still makes sense because we actually save more money by cutting Davis ($6 million), than we did by cutting Roy ($5 million) or Barber ($4.7 million).
Going back to Roy, it'll be fun to see how the 2011 Cowboys WRs corps will be now that we aren't financially forced to start an underachiever. We know Miles Austin and Dez Bryant will be the starter, but we don't know who 3-5 will be. The obvious choice would be to bump up Kevin Olgetree, Sam Hurd, and Jesse Holley, but I wonder what the possibility would be of bringing back Patrick Crayton? I know it's unlikely (unless he's cut from the Chargers), just putting it out there. Either way, I hope we give Sam Hurd a real shot this year because he never really got it in the past.
