It sounds like when the Dallas Cowboys recently cut wide receiver Devin Street, they did exactly what he wanted them to do.

Having been waived by the Cowboys at the tail end of the offseason due to poor production and a low ceiling, Street landed on the New England Patriots practice squad. According to a Tuesday interview the third-year wideout gave Kevin Duffy of MassLive.com, he is finally where he wanted to be all along.

"Maybe (getting cut) is a blessing in disguise, because I'm at a place where I want to be." Street said. "And I feel like they have a little want for me, too, just from working me out before."

Street cited his belief in being misused by the Cowboys as the root of his issues, and looks forward to the Patriots giving him a chance to play in the slot; something the 2014 fifth rounder did at times when he played at Pitt.

"In college, that's where I made a lot of my money, inside," Street said. "I wasn't utilized in that aspect in Dallas, which is fine. Just got to do what you need to do. But I'm looking for the opportunity to be moved all around here."

And did he see his cut looming on the horizon in Dallas?

"Just kind of, the culture down there," Street said. "I knew it was coming."

Street is oozing elation at his opportunity to play with the Patriots, so much so he confessed the Cowboys would not have been his choice if he had one in the matter.

"I wanted to come here before the draft, but it just didn't work out that way," said Street. "It's just more of my fit, I feel like. Just go about your business, hard work, a humble atmosphere even though they have had so much success."

That's certainly a mouthful from a receiver who did very little to contribute to the Cowboys success, registering only nine receptions for a career total 132 yards in 31 games.

No wonder the Cowboys tossed Devin in the street.
