It’s Dallas week, but there’s little juice for the game. There’s little excitement in playing our division rival in a mostly empty stadium, since they stink and the Eagles also stink, but not as much as the Cowboys.

As such, we’re just having a laugh at Jerry Jones and company while throwing stones from our glass houses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

The Cowboys released Dontari Poe this week, a player they signed to a two-year deal this summer with $3.5 million guaranteed. Wednesday, Jones said they made the move because Poe was fat, via ESPN:

“When you’re 30 pounds overweight and you’re not doing anything about what’s keeping you from performing well on the field, there is no reason to get into the other stuff,” Jones told ESPN.

The “other stuff” was specific to a question as to whether Poe’s being the only Cowboys player to take a knee for the cause of social justice during the national anthem factored in to his release Wednesday.

“I understand your question, and I’m deliberately not going to answer it,” Jones replied. “We have a platform here, but the platform on the football field has a high standard, and [Poe] was not up to the standard. He needed to correct that, and he did not. I’m going to leave it at that.”

Poe had nine tackles in seven starts for the league’s worst run defense. ESPN says he had a weight clause in his contract, so we’re assuming he did not meet the requirements there. He was a Pro Bowler in 2013 and 2014 with Kansas City and was 346 pounds coming out of Memphis in 2012.

Dallas also traded Everson Griffen and cut Philly native Daryl Worley. No word yet on whether Andy Dalton will clear concussion protocol to play Sunday night.
