Taco Charlton Released (Update: Claimed by Dolphins) (1 Viewer)

Previous Next
Another "big time" DE prospect with a bad 40 time bites the dust. As many people here know, I absolutely hate pass rush specialists with bad 40-times.

Outside of a couple of outliers (Terrell Suggs and James Harrison), a 4.9 40-time for a pass rusher is typically a kiss of death.

I'd even go as far as to say that of all positions, pass rusher is the one that can be predicted the best using 40-times. It isn't 100% fail-safe, of course, but once Charlton ran that 4.92, I was pretty much done with him.

why do they even bother listing his contract amounts, he got waved so he, and any team who claims him, isnt bound to that old contract.

maybe he sucks or maybe dallas has too many good linemen to keep him but i think its at least worth giving him a look see if he can be signed for depth or replace someone here

the saints wanted to draft him so i assume they liked him
 
I thought he was vastly overrated coming out of college. He’s a human named Taco, and that’s pretty much where the interest stops for me. I think he made a few splash plays early in his career, but he’s getting released for a reason. A team that needs DE depth will probably give him a shot, but I see him as a backup / rotational guy at best.

If he's waived, then he is still bound to his contract, and if a team claims him within 24 hours, they claim the contract. If a player is released, then the player is free of his contract and can sign anywhere he wants.

If a player has less than 4 years of experience, they get waived. If they have 4 or more years of experience, they get released.

After the trade deadline passes, all players get waived, regardless of experience, which helps keep competitive balance and removes the possibility of potential collusion off the table between contending teams and non-contending teams.
 
When you’re named Taco, you have to be good.
This guy has really blemished tacos everywhere. I mean who messes up a taco? :idunno:
