with McFadden's injury history and the unknown of Randle as the premier back, I just don't see Dunbar not making the roster. Totally disagree on that one, all of the others I could see happening

Dunbar is a different kind a back due to his size. He doesn't get the same kind of plays that McFadden and Randle get. I don't think he makes the roster either and will be replaced via a trade or late preseason cut pickup.

That makes no sense.
They have to have a backup Center.

Who would replace Dunbar? Garrett loves Dunbar.

There has been nothing to indicated that Weeden is being challenged at this point in the opinion if the coaches.

Hanna is their best blocking TE and knows the scheme and requirements of multiple alignments (Y, H and F back).

They may have one right
Other than a trade, McCray is really the only one who might be sweating a bit
I think swain had a chance of opening a trade of Hanna but don't think he has done enough to do so

Weeden's job is safe, he may suck, but this team will not go into the season with a back-up that's never played an NFL down.

5 Veterans Who Won’t Make Dallas Cowboys’ 53-Man Roster In 2015

This is the time when many NFL players are scared, and it isn't of getting injured. This is the time where a lot of players get the calls into the coach's office, get sat down and get told they are no longer part of the team. With cut time right around the corner, some veterans may be looking for work in the coming weeks as their teams work on trimming their rosters down to the magic number of 53.

5. Lance Dunbar

Dunbar will most likely be left out of the squad this season. Joseph Randle has had a great camp, and Darren McFadden looked pretty solid if not awesome against the St. Louis Rams in joint practices. With cuts coming up, it's hard to look at Dunbar and justify a roster spot for a guy who has decent hands and speed. Catching passes out of the backfield is great and all, but McFadden can do that as well.

4. James Hanna

With the guys they have on the roster, Hanna has to be the odd man out. Gavin Escobar emerged last season as a legitimate end zone threat. He is big, has great hands and he can get open when the Cowboys run their two tight end sets. Jason Witten is who he is, and he isn’t going to be bumped off as the No. 1 TE any time soon. People say he has lost a step, but he is still Tony Romo’s security blanket and is a great blocker.

3. Brandon Weeden

Weeden will be the most interesting cut. He's apparently had a good camp according to the coaches, and some have even said Weeden is the most improved player at camp. It will not be enough. After the first preseason game and the botched snap, his chances to be part of the team are dwindling. Dustin Vaughan has shown he can be a decent backup, and with the emergence of Jameill Showers, Weeden's time in Dallas is all but over.

I agree Hanna is in trouble here. I think he can go elsewhere, too.

Dunbar is a tad on the fence but not much IMO.

I don't think Weeden is going anywhere but I think it is possible.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Who's taking over the 3rd rb role over Dunbar? A quick back that can catch and run? Coaches love Dunbar. I'll take their word over some no name writer.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

The only one I see on that list is McCray.

Berny isn't getting cut especially with his versatility and injuries at OL.

Dunbar isn't getting cut because again injuries and the coaches like him.

Hanna could get traded by he isn't getting cut.

Unless Vaughn or Showers show something as a capable backup Weeden isn't getting cut either

McCray is the only player on that list who MIGHT not make the roster.

 

[blindzebra]

If I am picking 5:

1. McCray

2. Wilber

3. Heath

4. Hanna

5. T. McClain

 

[MWH1967]

Just don't see it folks..If this is the case..Dallas is truly one of the favs for the NFC this year.

Heath will make it for sure. He's gotten a lot better and is physical and athletic.
