One day after being released, Taco Charlton gets claimed on waivers by NFL team
Published:
Taco Charlton was a beast at Michigan.
During his time in Ann Arbor, from 2013-16, Charlton registered 19 sacks and 28 tackles for loss. He was selected No. 28 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. He racked up 46 tackles over two seasons and was factored out of the lineup in the first two games in 2019.
Charlton made it known earlier this week that there were troubles between he and the Cowboys.

Is it exactly where Charlton wanted to go? Maybe not. It’s the Dolphins, who have been embarrassed the first two weeks of the season.
But realistically, Charlton just wanted an opportunity. It doesn’t matter the team. He just wanted to showcase his talents. He should have a better chance at doing that now.
