Dallas Cowboys to cut Marion Barber, Roy Williams, Leonard Davis and Marc Colombo

Marion Barber is one of several Dallas veterans looking for a new team

The first day of NFL team transactions has been marked by big-name veterans getting the boot from their respective teams.


Tuesday morning it was the Baltimore Ravens who announced their intention to unload franchise stalwarts Willis McGahee, Todd Heap, Derrick Mason and Kelly Gregg.

The Dallas Cowboys are following suit.

According to ESPNDallas.com reporter Calvin Watkins, running back Marion Barber, wide receiver Roy Williams, right guard Leonard Davis, tackle Marc Colombo and place kicker Kris Brown will all get their walking papers in Big D.

With all the money they’re saving, the Cowboys may now make a stronger push to wrench coveted free agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha from the Houston Texans.

Ryan Mallett lands in New England

This is the best landing spot for Ryan Mallettbecause lands in a stable franchise. Mallett will have time to grow and learn like a pro. The Patriots have Randy Moss and nature are concerned that it worked fine.

Malllett should never start a game, but New England will probably get a good draft pick trade. No reduction for 1 year without a bad press can do a lot for a player. Mallett will stay out of trouble and a trading chip for the Patriots and maybe put in more than Matt Cassell. It's a bit like stock trading, buying cheap Mallett and I hope it brings more value.

And if the Patriots keep was the star next to New England. Note that many mobility problems Mallett, but Brady is not a sportsman.
