Marcus Spears
Defensive end Marcus Spears isn’t going anywhere.
In light of recent speculation, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told Alex Marvez, of FOX Sports, that the team has no interest in trading Spears.
The Dolphins were linked to Spears after losing Phillip Merling (torn Achilles tendon) for the season, but that has no chance of happening now. Knowing that, Miami went out and signed former Jets DE Marques Douglas today to a two-year deal.
Spears has been on the trade block since April, when the Cowboys were shopping him and a handful of other players right before the draft. It’s no surprise Jones wanted to unload him pre-draft, now he’ll just hold onto the former first-round pick and hope the light flips on for him in 2010.
Since being selected 20th overall in 2005, Spears has battled injuries and heavy criticism following his lackluster production. In five seasons, he has accumulated only 107 tackles and 8 sacks.
