The writing is on the wall that Lucky Whitehead’s time with the Dallas Cowboys is coming to an end. That was made evident when Jerry Jones and Company decided to use their fourth round draft pick on former North Carolina WR/KR Ryan Switzer. But, I think it’s been a long time coming.

Whitehead never really developed into the return specialist the Cowboys envisioned after signing him as an undrafted free agent a few years ago. He also isn’t going to see the field much as a WR and is only good for a gimmicky play here and there.

With the selection of Switzer, the Cowboys now have a dynamic return specialist and someone who is better equipped to be a threat in the passing game. All of this adds up to Whitehead no longer having a place on the Cowboys roster.

There may not be much of a trade market for Whitehead, but the Cowboys will certainly explore that possibility. The more likely scenario is that he is out right released, but I’m sure the Cowboys would take just about anything they were offered as compensation to avoid that.

  1. Everybody but Hitchens, he’s been the most consistent out of the bunch. Yall are missing one , Tyrone Crawford. Big contract low production. Rid him, lets move on already if he dont show up this year

    • I thought about going with Crawford, but I think the Cowboys keep him around because of his ability to play different positions on the DL. I put Hitchens on this list because he does have trade value, but like you said he is the most consistent. I wouldn’t be completely surprised if he was traded if he ends up buried on the depth chart though. That way he doesn’t walk away at the end of the season without receiving any compensation in return.

  2. Hitchens gives your more insurance than the other positions. This defensive line needs to start fresh Crawford and Lawrence have done nothing impressive to keep them. Were keeping them because of the contract. Outside of Sean lee, maliek collins, anthony brown, and byron jones , everybody on this defense can be traded or cut

  3. TRAVIS DIGGS Hitchens he can’t cover no speed thus the pass interference call against the Lions he is sorry and to slow The Cowboys are the slowest team in Football and one of the stupidest if this is a word Look what the Patriots Did, see they were successful with those slow receiver but they had enough common sense to add Brandin Cooks from the Saints because you need some Blazing to open everything else a real deep threat would take this offense over the top
