Cowboys fill roster spot with Jerome Long

The Cowboys pulled the plug on the Anthony Hargrove experiment last week, and now they’ve replaced him with someone deemed unfit to be a Jaguar.

According to Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com, the Cowboys signed defensive lineman Jerome Long to take Hargrove’s roster spot.

Long was in their rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, but wasn’t signed immediately. Long was picked in the seventh round in 2012 by the Chiefs, and was signed off KC’s practice squad by the Jaguars last year. But the Jags cut him in April.

That gives the Cowboys 13 defensive linemen on their 90-man roster, as they look high and low for parts for their shift to a 4-3 defense.

Two of the worst teams in the league cut this guy.

Got to feel pretty good about this signing!

Our scouts are smarter than you!

There is no salary cap in the front office. We have the best scouts in the league. How many times must you be told this?

I feel good about this. He'll definitely make the team.

Nothing wrong with the roster churning. Do it long enough and you might find someone who is worth keeping.

Long was picked by the Chiefs in the 7th round of the 2012 draft. The Jaguars picked Long off of the Chiefs' practice squad in late December 2012 and then cut Long 4 months later.

He's Long, and he's strong, and he's down to get the friction on!

No NFL stats or even appearances. Not a big sack guy at San Diego State.

Eh. Nothing signing from a nothing front office.

He would have started on a Dave Campo team. That's for sure.

He's a training camp body for God sake. You guys slit your wrists so fucking easy.

I'll be the first one to shout to the roofs to cut a mother fucker. I still have a voodoo doll of Cory Proctor I prod daily. And I don't know what the zone is... I currently post here and Cowboys-Forum and when I see what is most certainly a camp body and nothing else I make that statement instead of slitting my wrists and burning Jerry Jones in effigy.

Worst posters? As far as I know I'm the only poster here that even does any research and makes posts with said information that isn't a copy paste of someone else's work.

They'll cut Long when they realize the mistaken identity. They've got the Big Mac. We've got the Big Mick.

I'm all for roster churning. Especially with young players.

My comments were tongue in cheek. That said... some truth. The Chiefs and Jags - two teams void of talent - didn't want him. Thats alarming.

I'd rather we brought Jarvis Moss back (worked him out a few weeks ago). Or sign Israel Idonije.
