On Monday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, a move that had been in the works for a while. The team had been trying to trade their star defender as he doesn’t fit in new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles’ 3-4 scheme, but nothing materialized and McCoy was released.
Not surprisingly, a lot of people on the Twittersphere began clamoring for their favorite team to go get McCoy, one of the best pass-rushing defensive tackles in the NFL the last eight years. And for the Cowboys, McCoy would likely fit right in given the similarities in scheme.
