Cowboys free agency 2022: Kicker Greg Zuerlein released, tight end Blake Jarwin waived/injured

There is always a breaking point. Always. We passed that a long time ago with kicker Greg Zuerlein.

It was two years ago when the Dallas Cowboys signed Zuerlein and brought him to their team along with then-new special teams coordinator John Fassel. The first season of Zuerlein in Dallas was filled with some ups and downs, including his famed onsides watermelon kick moment against Dan Quinn of all people, but it was chaotic to the point that he was untrustworthy.

Things didn’t progress for Zuerlein in year two as he struggled mightily as a kicker and posted some of his worst career numbers.
