As if we as a country needed another reason not to like the Dallas Cowboys, we have one – they waived Denzel Daxon.

The team made the announcement as they continued to trim their roster heading into the regular season.

He finished with five tackles and a sack in two preseason appearances this year.

Daxon, signed with the Cowboys last offseason after a standout career at the University of Illinois.
