Open Roster Spots - 3 - assuming Randy Gregory and Aldon Smith are reinstated, and Travis Frederick retires after June 1st.

Note: Currently the official Cowboys NFL roster count is actually 86 players. Both DE Randy Gregory and DE Aldon Smith are suspended, so the official roster count doesn't include them. OC Travis Frederick will be carried on the roster until June 1st, so he currently counts against the roster.
 
Great post. First thing I notice is a lot of blue and red names in each position. Training camp and preseason games take on much more meaning when roster spots are on the line. I expect 25-30% or more new players this year. As a group, their talent will be better than the players they are replacing. Add in a better HC and better coaching staff and the football season can't get here soon enough!

Not to be a big whiner, but it's something I never thought of before, but now I literally see.

Coloring things blue doesn't work out well on red shifted "night light" computer displays.
 
What should the Cowboys do with those 3 empty roster spots?
 
DE group is gonna be a helluva battle if they carry 5...Armstrong v Jackson v Jelks v Anae.
 
Eight linebackers seems a little light to bring to camp; but they might consider Azur Kamara a linebacker at 6'3, 245.
 
So what is the deal with AWoods? Is he not under contract.

He's an exclusives rights free agent. That means the Cowboys own his rights, and can sign him to the veteran's minimum at any time without worrying about him taking offers somewhere else.

However, they have yet to offer him a new contract, so he's technically not on the current roster.

I say take the overflow and start a Farm Club and put it in Mexico City.

The NFL has always wanted to expand there.

No time like the present.

With all the XFL guys available?

Whatever happened to signing Parham at TE?

Did we blow that off?
 
I have a feeling Taumoepeau is being looked at as another FB. 6-2 240lbs doesn’t scream TE to me. His bio talked about being a decent blocker and willing to run through a wall for his team. That screams FB to me.
 
I have all these players on my spreadsheet. I include Dak and Woods, but do not include Smith and Gregory.
You don't have Woods on there, also they signed another UDF RB Anderson.

To my list I have them at 88, as Dak and Woods most likely sign their deals. Also I expect Gregory and Smith to be reinstated. That would make it the 90. As they may sign a few more UDFA's. Expect a few to get released from the reserves / futures signings.

Oh wow ok thanks for that.

Interesting way that the DC site lists Prescott as Active, although he technically is not signed.
Also, Antwaun Woods is listed on their site as Exclusive Rights Free Agent. So, does this mean he is just not re-signed, the same as non-tendered Unrestricted Free Agents?

As far as I know, Woods was not yet offered a contract to sign. They own his rights, but have not given him a contract to sign.

ERFA, they own his rights and I think can sign him for whatever the CBA says his pay should be. Either they offer it and he signs and plays, or he doesn't play if he doesn't sign it. Or Dallas can just release him making him a FA. Now with Gallimore, Poe, and McCoy, will they just release him. That may depend on what they think about Hill, and what they do with Crawford.
 
The official roster listing always seems to be a mysterious creature. Partly created according to NFL protocol but partly existing as the result of unknown computer glitches and/or human error.
 
Some players are probably going to get cut. The Cowboys have eleven cornerbacks right now, for example.

Among the players on the current roster that may be cut soon are (guessing) receiver Tevin Jones and corner D.J. White.
