Sam Young waived- update claims by Bills

[Mr.Po]

The Cowboys made a roster spot for veteran guard Derrick Dockery on Monday by officially cutting offensive tackle Sam Young.

A sixth-round pick of Notre Dame in 2010, Young did not play at tackle last season for the Cowboys and still has practice-squad eligibility. The Cowboys are likely hoping Young can return to the team if he clears waivers.

Currently, the Cowboys have just three tackles on the team and practice squad in Doug Free, Tyron Smith and Jermey Parnell.

Dockery, an eight-year veteran and local product from Garland, Texas, spent six seasons with Washington, including the last two. It’s uncertain whether he will immediately push for a starting job at guard, but he virtually replaces Montrae Holland, who was cut Sunday.

No big surprise IMO, he looked pretty mediocre all preseason

No big loss.

Crazy that Parnell goes from never playing lineman in college to one play away from starting for the Cowboys. Crazy and mildly upsetting.

Thats why I think another move is coming.

Also, appears Young may be headed to the PS if he clears waivers

Also, appears Young may be headed to the PS when he clears waivers

Fixed.

Got claimed by Buffalo today.

I really hope this guy plays for them with the starters when we put the smack down on them later this yr. Ware could really pad some QB sack numbers that day.

I thought the cowboys absolutely loved this guy.

And no guess-ies.

Yup, that was our lovely GM who had said he had high hopes for Young. FAIL as usual.

He will never see the field this year. Kosier and dockery I imagine would step out to right tackle and smith to left it something happens.

Let's all pray nothing happens.

Great, so the "Ware gets garbage sacks" crew will have something to whine about.
