Great Thief May Be Out Of Football
Dave Whitsell, a 13 year NFL veteran and 46 time interception leader among active players, was released on waivers by the Dallas Cowboys after a trade from New Orleans. He reacted emotionally, saying the free safety spot was never clearly his and that younger players were chosen. Whitsell, a Chicago Bears star and NFL champion in 1963, faces life after football as teams pivot to younger talent. In other moves, St. Louis sent guard John Wilbur to Los Angeles for guard Mike Lahood, with Wilbur reporting to the Rams after starting for Dallas in 1968 and 1969.
