The Cowboys opened for business and quickly did their best to trim their heavy waistline. The Cowboys mid section has been sagging with inflated contracts on under-producing players but Jason Garrett ushered in the start of his first full season at the helm with definity. He cut all the underperformers no matter how many zero's were above their respective dotted lines. This is his team for sure. The Cowboys cut Marion Barber, Roy Williams and the real fat boys Marc Colombo and Leonard Davis.
This means a few things. First and most importantly, Colombo and Davis will have much more time to play in their death metal band "Free Reign." Second, the Cowboys aired our the room a little bit and at least gave themselves some...just some....mobility. Lets face it...Every single one of these guys deserved to get cut, albeit for different reasons. Barber just isn't the battering ram that he used to be and is essentially ineffective. He also didn't seem too enthusiastic with the Red Jesus rules (Garrett rules). Williams was always heard, rarely seen...except when fumbling the ball in big situations....actually... to be fair he had a productive year last year for the most part and I would have liked having him as a third option, possession receiver. Colombo played with so much heart and determination last year but his body just can't keep up anymore. Leonard Davis played football with the courage of a vegan, he will not be missed.

The Cowboys should now have enough room to resign both Doug Free (a # 1 priority) and the savy, but often injured veteran, Kyle Kosier. If Kosier can stay healthy, they can be part of a rebirth of a group that last year, was more of a punchline than an offensive line. After that they will have little money to dole out and the likely hood of landing a top tier free agent seems unlikely at this point.
