http://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/med/trans/dal.gif (http://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/med/trans/dal.gif)Most significant move: When the Cowboys drafted wide receiver Danny Coale (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15034/danny-coale) in the fifth round, some thought he might get himself into the No. 3 wide receiver mix. The fact that he could not says a lot about the wide receivers the Cowboys already had, and that they kept at the cut deadline. Kevin Ogletree (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/12588/kevin-ogletree), Dwayne Harris (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14100/dwayne-harris), Andre Holmes (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14403/andre-holmes) and Cole Beasley (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15349/cole-beasley) all performed admirably in training camp and in preseason games while competing for reps and jobs, and because of that, not only was Coale expendable, but the Cowboys feel a lot better about their wide receiver depth going into the season than they may have felt a few months ago.
Onward and upward: Adrian Hamilton (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15396/adrian-hamilton), the undrafted pass-rusher who had the big numbers last year at Prairie View A&M, looked like a potentially helpful guy, and his ability to get to the quarterback is likely to make him interesting to some other team. The main reason he didn't make the Cowboys' roster was probably his inability to help on special teams. But he looked like a playmaker when on the field, and I wouldn't be surprised if he drew some interest... It's a surprise to some that third quarterback Stephen McGee (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/12478/stephen-mcgee) was kept, but he could be the first one to go if the Cowboys add an offensive lineman off of someone else's cut list.
