NFL 2018: One roster cut each team should make, but won’t
By Dan Parzych
Dallas Cowboys: Terrance Williams
Expectations were high for the Dallas Cowboys around this time last year, as they were coming off an impressive 2016 campaign in which they finished with the best record in the NFC before falling in the Divisional Round right away to the Green Bay Packers. After seeing the offense shine with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott as rookies, last season was supposed to see the Cowboys reach a whole new level while looking like a strong Super Bowl contender.
Instead, Dallas failed to even earn a Wild Card spot, putting some extra pressure on turning things around in 2018 with two of their former top players in Dez Bryant (release) and Jason Witten (retirement) no longer part of the picture. As a result of these moves, there are plenty of questions surrounding which receiver will emerge as a reliable top target for Prescott to work with.
The Cowboys have spent years waiting for Terrance Williams to become a consistent receiver on offense, and after failing to find the end zone even once in 2017, this shows how much of a disappointment he’s truly been. This season could provide Williams another opportunity to show off his skills since Bryant and Witten are gone, but Dallas also knows the results could be the same as every other year.
