The Dallas Cowboys seemed to give up on Ryan Switzer after just a season despite using a fourth-round draft choice on him in 2017 and carrying him on their roster all year, making him their starting returner and finally beginning to use the wide receiver on offense late in the year.
They proceeded to trade him to the Oakland Raiders early this offseason, giving up on former second-round defensive lineman Jihad Ward (Ward then proceeded to miss the Cowboys’ roster, so Dallas ended up with nothing for Switzer).
Now, I wouldn’t be writing about Switzer if the Raiders, too, did not give up on him.
