Since Cowboys only allowed to bring in 85 players, I wonder which 4 players they will cut. I was surprised when they added Batiste (sp?) who obviously camp fodder but why bring him in when we already over the limit. What do those players on the cusp have to show since vet minicamp and OTAs to make it to TC with us. Sure hope that DT from NFLE makes it to TC--should be interesting guy to track; maybe he shows enough to end up on PS.

Can't wait til TC. Only 41 days to go & I'll be away 2 of those weeks visiting my brother at his lakeside home; unfortunately he's a Skins fan but his 2 sons split between Skins & Cowboys.

More than four will eventually be cut because the 89 figure does not include draft picks, I understand. When the draft picks are signed, room must be made for them at training camp. I don't believe the 85 number is applicable until training camp, though. If it is, maybe he is an NFL Europe exemption, as some others are.

They also receive exemptions for NFLE players, so they are allowed to keep an additional player, above the roster limit, for every player they sent.

Yes they sent Crowder and Henson, but can't recall the other 2 they sent.
