Good list.
Gregory has not applied for reinstatement yet.
For the initial cuts I would leave him out.
That gives an extra spot for 1 of Crawford, Taco or Jelks.
If Gregory can return during the season it's normally easier to find roster spots because some players will be out injured at some point.
If everyone is healthy as of cut day then I would move on from Crawford. I would want to identify the 3rd option at 3-tech behind Collins and Hill before cutting Crawford.
What makes this DL unit decision even more complex is the pending suspension with Gregory, as we would still have to cut someone else in some position area,
IF Randy is somehow granted a reduced amount of games (which could be 2 games,.. 6 games , ..8 games ... if not the entire season)
It's gonna be very interesting to see how this pans out come final cut/regular season time.
If Crawford is made a rotational role type,(assuming Quinn will be full time RDE starter.. and Collins the starting3 tech) .. he is making quite a bit for such a backup role. (7 million?)
Is this a case where he is so liked among coaches, management that they let his salary slide THIS year?
Considering he is such a Marinelli favorite, a vocal leader among his peers, and a production rotation role player, despite his salary and limitations, i'd be shocked if the Cowboys
cut Crawford. And no one would dare trade for that kind of salary for a role player.
