Not really unexpected.
Cowboys release Cortez
01:44 PM CDT on Monday, October 24, 2005
By JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR / The Dallas Morning News
The Cowboys have released kicker Jose Cortez, who missed a 29-yard field goal and sent a kickoff out of bounds Sunday in a 13-10 loss to Seattle.
He was 12-of-16 this seasonand had made 13 of 14 extra points.
"I'm not trying to test Parcells," Cortez said Monday morning before he was released. "It's not like I go out there trying to miss kicks. I've missed four of seven kicks the last two weeks, so I need to work a little harder this week to figure out what's going on."
Now, he's not going to get that opportunity.

This sucks!!! I was just starting to like that guy. I mean, he missed a 29 yard field goal! You gotta love a puke that misses those. Oh well, Lets keep Novak on the roster for at least another week. We can't let the Cowboys take him.

I say keep Novak until after we play the Pukes, at least. Would Gibbs keep holding a roster spot that he's already figured out how to work around for that extra edge against the Cowboys? I certainly hope so.

No, Novak must not become a Cowboy. Lets hold on to him and let him do kickoffs.

Of course, one of the people that left was Novak.

A guy on the radio in Austin made a good point.
"Their where at least 100 kickers in Division 1-A college football last year and their is no one else besides Cortez who can kick the ball effectively?"
I say keep Novak, you never know if Hall might go down again...
The Eagles picking up Cortez is like what the Yanks tried to do by picking up Mark Belhorn midseason...only problem is they both suck..Belhorn still stuck out and Cortez will continue to shank kicks

NOOOOOOOOOO, Cortez was our secret weapon! Now how are we going to beat the Cowboys?

Yeah, our NFC East rivals can just pass him around right before we play them. That way, he can still be a very effective weapon for us.
