The Cowboys waived rookie wide receiver Vince Mayle Tuesday, a week after promoting him from the practice squad.
That transaction was buried by the news that the Cowboys plan to use this, their bye week, to change quarterbacks, benching Brandon Weeden in favor of Matt Cassel as Jerry Jones continues to count the hours until Tony Romo can come back.
Mayle was a fourth-round pick of the Browns last spring but broke his thumb in spring work and never made a serious bid to make the roster through training camp. He was waived in September before catching on with the Cowboys’ practice squad.
Mayle was the only receiver drafted by the Browns in the last two seasons.
