Cowboyz1 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well I was WAY wrong about why they had DMC inactive. I thought he was going to start in front of Morris but now they cut him. Smith and Morris are the guys then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Not getting this. Was he making much more than minimum i.e. not worth having even as a 3d string? His did well for them mostly I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His did well for them mostly I thought. He had a 900,000 salary for this year. DMC hasn't done much for the Cowboys since 2015 (10 starts, played 16gms, 239 rush for 1089 yards 3 TD, 40rec 328yds 0TD), 2 starts in 3 games last year 114 combined yards.and 0TD, a whopping one rush for 2- yards this year.

BeeR Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 And? He hasn't had to do anything with Elliot around. Making vet minimum-ish, wtf with cutting him? Makes no sense. Who's a better 3d stringer that they have in their pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 From what I gather it was more a move for DMC then the team. He wanted to have a chance to get on with another team and play before he's too old to do so. He is finally fully healthy as his elbow was giving him problems early in the season which we were not aware of until now. They have decided to stick with Morris, Smith and Smith while bringing up the rookie to get more practice time with the team. Morris had made strides in pass protection and has been running pretty well so DMC was expendable. Only three more games until Zeke is back anyway which would have meant Zero playing time for sure. Not that it matters since he was inactive anyhow. Good luck DMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy was INACTIVE and not doing anything but running on the scout team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverines Fan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 DMC announces his retirement, per Schefter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) I don't know that he is actually retiring for good. There is something fishy about this. Maybe his contract or signing with another team somehow works out better if he retires and then comes back for reinstatement. Not sure how it works but I can't believe he's retiring for good. He really wanted to play from what was hearing and this surprises me that he announced retiring rather then signing for another team that has either lost their starter or need some quality back up. Maybe his elbow is worse then any of us knew? In any case. Thanks DMC for some good years and enjoyed watching you play in Oakland and Dallas. Good luck in life after football.

Announcing you're retiring is different from filing the retirement paperwork with the NFL. Not sure how easy it is to unretire once you've done it, so if he is still thinking of playing he'd hold off on filing the paperwork. Didn't Favre retire several times but not file the paperwork? Was just looking for info and came across articles talking about Romo not filing his paperwork (April) and how Cutler wasn't aware of that process at all (June).
