Dallas Cowboy Cuts and Transactions***Merged***

[ghst187]

Like to see Jarwin, Skipper, Neal, Ivey, and White on the Ps.

 

[haleyrules]

Why? That adds no value to this 53....

Emergency third string back up and a possible coaching prospect.

Emergency third string back up and a possible coaching prospect.

third string or will he be the active backup on gameday with rush inactive?

 

[TrailBlazer]

Nzoecha, Tapper, Benwikere, Alfred Morris, and Noah Brown should all be worried. They might not be done making moves or when guys start coming back from suspension, somebody will have to be cut.

 

[xwalker]

I like this roster. Maybe another LB for depth but we will see. Might have to churn Nzeocha.

This is exactly what I expected except for Benwikere replacing Marquez White.

 

[Cowboys22]

Points per game is an irrelevant stat? LOL Ok, the entire objective is to score more points than the other team. You're playing yourself.

Yes, it's irrelevant to me in the context of talking about success. I measure success with results. I don't care about any stat, if you can't win a playoff game you didn't have success. That's just me. If you like stats and that's enough for you, then good. Like I said, we have different ideas of what success is.

Purely 3 string. Rush will get the bu and the work thzt goes with it. Bank on it. Moore can not help the club if Prescott goes down. This decision confirms that.

I don't see Tapper nor Noah Brown needing to be worried.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

Not sure why it's so hard to see Moore is coming back for his experience. Let's be honest, not many coaches are going to trust a free agent rookie QB as his primary backup. I agree 100% Rush is probably a better QB....but he needs experience.

Experience is overrated when it comes to qbs imo. If the worst happened with Dak, I'd have more confidence in Rush then any of Moore, Cassels, Weeden, or other 'vets'.

Once Elliott suspension is determined, I don't seec4 RBs.

Benwikere likely short term until other players healthy and Carroll suspension determined.

There were a lot of LBs released by other teams that seem like they would be good stop gaps.

So is this more or less the roster?

QB: Dak Prescott, Cooper Rush
RB: Ezekiel Elliott, Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris, Rod Smith
FB: Keith Smith
WR: Dez Bryant, Brice Butler, Noah Brown
WR: Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley, Ryan Switzer
TE: Jason Witten, Geoff Swaim, James Hanna, Rico Gathers
LT: Tyron Smith, Chaz Green
LG: Jonathan Cooper
C: Travis Frederick, Joe Looney
RG: Zack Martin
RT: La’el Collins, Byron Bell

RDE: Demarcus Lawrence, Benson Mayowa, Charles Tapper
DT: Maliek Collins
DT: Cederic Thorton, Stephen Paea
LDE: Tyrone Crawford, Taco Charlton
WLB: Sean Lee, Justin Durant
MLB: Jaylon Smith, Anthony Hitchens, Mark Nzeocha
SLB: Damien Wilson, Kyle Wilber
CB: Orlando Scandrick, Chidobe Awuzie, Bene Benwikere
CB: Nolan Carrol, Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis
FS: Byron Jones, Xavier Woods
SS: Jeff Heath, Kavon Frazier

K: Dan Bailey
P: Chris Jones
LS: L.P. Ladouceur

SUS: Damontre Moore, David Irving, Randy Gregory

If we end up putting Hitchens on short-term IR, I'd much rather see us bring Neal back than Moore. Of course, by then we'll know if Neal cleared waivers and it'll probably be a moot point. Still, there are other players that we cut that I would rather have back than Kellen Moore. I think Moore will pretty much be available whenever we need him if it came down to it.

 

[Cowboys22]

I really only see Nacho as the one who could/should be upgraded. There are many LBs available right now that are better than him.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I think when we wake up Sunday morning we will have two new players on the 53

Since we're 28th on the waiver wire pecking order any last minute pickups we make will likely be seasoned vets that don't go through waivers.

 

[Proximo]

Moore will make it. Book it

I booked it.

Do I get a refund now?

How does this work?

I feel like I was duped bro.

 

[Verdict]

I had written down my guess at the 53 but didn't get it typed in because real life got in the way. I was a lot closer than I thought I would be on the initial 53 man roster. I correctly guessed that Moore would get cut. It gives me more confidence in the organization, as it was the right move.

I was wrong about Morris. I really thought they would go light at RB even with Zeke's suspension looming. I figured we would keep who we kept at RB, I just didn't see keeping Morris. I had Neal occupying Morris' slot. In hindsight I guess keeping Morris makes some sense, but that's 5 RBs total. Maybe they think they can trade Morris later after a RB gets hurt.

I thought we would keep White, but I wasn't aware of the trade for the corner. That trade probably cost White or another DB a roster spot.

I was also not aware that Hitchens had to take a spot on the initial 53 man roster. I had him at IR and Cleary making the team.

 

[Kaiser]

. Dallas could roll with Rush or look to add a veteran. Brandon Weeden, who spent time with the Cowboys in 2014 and 2015, was just cut by the Texans.

MY EYES!!! THEY BURN!! THEY BURN!!!!

 

[Silverstar]

Would like to see Joseph Jones brought back.

I would bet White ends up on the practice squad.

Me too.

Probably make it to the practice squad.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

my hopeful PS:

Gilchrist, Joe Jones, White, Neal, Carrel, Ivie, Lenoir, Theaker, Skipper, Jarwin
