When the Dallas Cowboys made Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton the 28th overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft, it was a controversial pick. Not only was Wisconsin star linebacker T.J. Watt still on the board, but Charlton was considered a developmental project that the Cowboys themselves had a second-round grade on.
Just over two years into his career in Dallas, the Cowboys have now decided to part ways with the former first rounder. According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, the team has waived the 24-year old after failed attempts to trade him, placing Charlton on the waiver wire allowing other NFL teams to claim him up as a result.
