Cowboys defensive end Damontre Moore has been suspended two games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, tweets Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Moore was arrested for DWI in December.
Moore, a third-round pick in 2013, has already bounced around to give teams during his short NFL tenure, and had agreed to a two-year deal with Dallas this spring. Set to earn $775K for the upcoming season, Moore will now forfeit nearly $100K in game checks — if he makes the roster. Moore is no lock to secure a spot on the Cowboys’ defense, as his limited track record means he’ll be competing with Benson Mayowa, Charles Tapper, and others for a reserve role.
Moore is just the latest Cowboy to run afoul of legal or NFL rules this year, as running back Ezekiel Elliott, defensive end David Irving, linebacker Damien Wilson, and cornerback Nolan Carroll have all either been arrested or are facing league discipline. Aside from Moore, only Irving has been handed a ban (four games), although an Elliott suspension is also expected.
Given that he’ll miss the first two games of the season, Moore will be absent for contests against the Giants and Broncos.
I’m a Cowboys fan, but this is getting absolutely ridiculous with all the suspensions. Especially the D-linemen.
He was an issue for the Giants also
Moore has been a problem with Giants dolphins and now Dallas send him packing
Dump him fast
What’s Jerry Jones feeding them! Lol
Weed
also a cowboys fan, but im starting to think the league should levy out a penalty to the team if x amount of players get into trouble during the year. Something such as losing a late round draft pick or something.
Did he just test positive or is this from a previous stop?
Just cancel the 2018 NFL season FFS!!
