Luke Gifford, a backup linebacker and special teams player for the Dallas Cowboys, has been suspended two games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substance policy. He will miss the next two Thursday games against the Washington Football Team and the Baltimore Ravens.
Gifford has been active for six of Dallas’ 10 games so far in 2020. He’s only played one defensive snap this year but has been one of the more heavily-used players on special teams, ranking 7th in total snaps there despite the four missed games.

Gifford was an undrafted free agent last year and became a fan favorite quickly with big plays in the team’s first 2019 preseason game. An injury cut his August short, though, and limited Luke’s role after he returned in the middle of the regular season.
Possibly due to coaching changes and scheme adjustments this year, Gifford has not been given the opportunities in 2020 that one would’ve expected after last season’s hype.
Nevertheless, Gifford’s absence will force the Cowboys to adapt their LB depth and special teams units as they prepare for the Thanksgiving showdown with the Football Team.
I think Kirk would be a solid #3 receiver and then have Pollard & Wilson as #1 punt and kickoff return guys and as a backup plan maybe draft one with your 5th or 7th pick
I’d be happy with kirk as our number 3 receiver as long as we didn’t have to give up too much to get him!!
Give them 2020 7th rounder and 2021 6th rounder for him.
What would we have to give up? He is a recent 2nd round pick.
If can replace him cece
Off topic but I’m interested in seeing if we can get a first round pick for Dak. I rather sign Cam for 8-10 million less than what Dak is seeking. If there is a drop-off its not much. The extra first round maybe get J. Adams and money saved could sign him. 17th pick X. McKinney. Defense solid hoping Aldon and Gregory work. 2 round KJ Hamler and I think we are a top team in the league…Your thoughts!!!
Cam is over rated and has been washed up for 3 years now. If they went the route of letting Dak go they should be Winston in a the cheaper side and draft a future guy that the new coaching staff picks.
Hard for me to believe Cam is overrated. The personnel that he would have around him in Dallas is better than what he had in Carolina. Again maybe Dak is better but is he 10 million a year better. Cam could have given us an 8-8 season. Teams don’t win after they pay their QB outrages money. When was the last time that happened? They win with building talent. Jimmy G is no better than Cam. So with Cam we could build talent like SF has.
