According to this article BP only has 5 slots unfilled for the 53. That startles me some- did not think it would be that few.

Parcells uses off day for evaluation

OXNARD, Calif. Dallas Cowboys players are getting their first day off since they reported to training camp July 28th.

But that doesn't mean coaches are lounging around today -- especially not Bill Parcells.

Parcells says he will evaluate his depth chart from top to bottom and consider whether he needs more than the six practices already scheduled before the preseason opener coming up Saturday in Seattle.

Parcells has already cut several players he said didn't have a chance of making the club. He also indicated that he's not going to keep dead weight around for too long.

Parcells has acknowledged he could already fill about 48 of the 53 roster spots that must be set by September Second.

It makes me wonder about some of the guys on the edges, like several of our LB's. We appear to have a lot more talent there then we can keep- I wish there was a way to trade them for some picks.

shouldn't any good team have only a handful of spots open going into TC?

I bet we could trade Coakley for a 3rd.
