Cowboys DE Taco Charlton Basically Asks Dallas to Release Him in Latest Tweet
Did Taco Charlton take the "How to Get Released By Your Team" class so eloquently taught in Oakland last week? Because if so, it looks like he could be on his way out of Dallas.
Recently, it was made public the Cowboys were shopping Charlton, a former first-round pick out of Michigan. Charlton appears to be on the outs with the front office, and reinforced that notion on Twitter Monday afternoon:

Charlton has yet to play a down this season, with the Cowboys looking elsewhere for their pass rush help. Obviously, this hasn't sat well with the 6-6, 270-pounder at all, as he believes he was born to swallow up quarterbacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In his first two campaigns with Dallas (2017 and 2018), Charlton appeared in 27 games, posting 46 tackles and four sacks. It goes without saying, but that's not the kind of production you'd expect to get from a first-round draft choice, especially when the rest of the defense has ably moved on without him.
One situation to watch over the next few days: The #Cowboys have had recent trade talks surrounding first-round pass-rusher Taco Charlton, sources tell me and @SlaterNFL. While nothing is imminent, it could heat up this week. Charlton will be inactive today.

Following his latest social media activity, it'd be hard to imagine a situation where Charlton plays for the Cowboys again. We'll see if they end up trading or releasing him, but a move could be coming soon.
Perhaps by Taco Tuesday?
