Dallas Cowboys reportedly making a decision on Taco Charlton’s future
Published:
It sounds like Taco Charlton’s days as a member of the Dallas Cowboys are numbered.
According to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys are looking to move on from Charlton in the near future. The organization is interested in finding a trade partner first, but if not, it plans to release the defensive lineman.
The news comes now that Robert Quinn has returned to the roster. Charlton just hasn’t quite delivered on expectations in Dallas so far in his career.
The #Cowboys are still keeping the door open for a possible trade of former first-round pass-rusher Taco Charlton, but if nothing comes to fruition, they plan to move on from him, sources tell @SlaterNFL and me. With Robert Quinn back on the roster, Taco is likely out.

Charlton was also reportedly absent from Wednesday’s team ppractice.
Charlton was taken in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Cowboys. He was the 28th overall pick out of Michigan and was expected to be a big-time contributor on the front line.
Now in his third season with the organization, he’s compiled 46 tackles with four sacks, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
