How surprising was the Cowboys’ decision to cut the NFL’s second-most accurate all-time kicker, Dan Bailey? I imagine if we had polled all of BTB on predicting the final 53-man roster there would not have been a single vote for cutting Bailey. None of BTB’s writers saw the move coming. Neither did any of the beat guys following the team. It seems the only group of people who gave any thought whatsoever to even contemplating this decision was the Cowboys’ leadership.
Looking at all the facts regarding the decision one can come up with good reasons why it was made.
