Theres always a surprise or two at final cut downs.

A new staff can add to the possibility.

Who do you folks think may be let go that we didnt see coming?

(I'll post my choice later. Dont want the thread to be a debate why to keep that player)

Im not sure there will be any surprises. The top rookies all seem to be doing well in camp... I am not surprised when a 4-7 round pick is cut. We could have seen one of Crawford or Hill cut but with the injury to McCoy, they are both safe. I would like to see Chris Jones cut but I don't think they even have another punter in camp, so that is doubtful.

But I will give ya a name: Jordan Lewis - I think they keep some of the younger CB to be the 5 CB and let him walk.

I thought about Dix too. Not sure we have the numbers in that group to cut him. He may not be a starter but he is prob better depth than the others . I could see it but I just doubt it.. especially since MM brought him in.

Trysten Hill's stock is way up right now. I doubt even without the McCoy injury he would have anything to worry about.

He was reportedly giving Zack Martin problems in the scrimmage.

He's one of the guys im excited to watch week 1.

And that is why he would have been a "surprise" cut. If he was doing what he did last year, it would not be a surprise :)

It depends. Do we sign ET?

Are we expecting Crawford to take a pay cut?

Antwaun Woods is on the cheap but if we need a roster spot badly he may be the odd man out.

Dorance Armstrong may be the odd man out also.

I don't see us cutting Lee in the least bit.

Dix is the only name, I think, but it shouldn't really come as a surprise. Outside of that, there aren't really any vets on the bubble. Maybe someone at linebacker - Thomas or March - but I doubt it.

I do think at TE there could be a chance that Hikutini or even someone else who gets cut is able to beat out Schultz, but again, not really sure how much of a surprise that would be.

From TC reports, will Dix actually be a surprise cut at this point. I can see why many would think this though. As maybe he just is not a good price guy. But he has not been a top S the past few years either, so it seems.
With McCoy gone, Crawford would be a surprise cut. I think would, Antuan Woods be a surprise at this point also.

How has Gifford looked, have not heard anything about his TC. it does not mean that is a bad thing though.
Also Armstrong, falls in that same category. But would he be a surprise as well.
Goodwin, the same.

So really the only surprise would be Crawford, I guess Dix.

Crawford
Clinton-Dix
Someone in else the secondary- maybe Jourdan Lewis
Punter Chris Jones (and we pick up someone better who was cut)

DiNucci (maybe placed on practice squad)

Dix - if ET is signed, it happens that day.
Crawford - Maybe if McCoy was healthy, no way
Lee- Maybe, especially if Benard is as good as we are being told.

Clinton-Dix. He's always been average, and so far in camp he's looked really bad. Wish we'd throw a one year deal at Eric Reid or Reshad Jones.

Jones can't pass a physical because he needs surgery. He's not sure he wants to have it because he's considering retirement.

Everyone knows why Eric Reid isn't getting a paycheck with Jerry Jones' name on it. To this point, no one else's name either.

A surprise cut? Prescott, Elliott, Cooper... they would all be a surprise to cut. The cuts that are going to be made are not going to be much of a surprise.
