Do you think Cowboys are trying to trade 3-4 players?

[Jumbo075]

The Cowboys need to activate a back-up QB, and a Place Kicker for the September 11th game. Stashing the QB's and PK Brett Maher on the Practice Squad allows those players to practice, but they'll need to activate them before the game on September 11th. So, the only rational reason they are not already on the 53-man roster is that the Cowboys are trying to get some value out of some of the other players they have on the roster.

It stands to reason that the Cowboys will try to trade at least 2 of the players on the roster now for future draft picks. Also, if the Cowboys sign a Veteran Offensive Lineman, such as Jason Peters, they may wait until after the Sept 11th game to sign them, so that their entire 2022 salary is not guaranteed. But that would require them to either cut or trade another player they have on their roster.

Finally, it stands to reason that Carlos Watkins would prefer to be on the active 53-man roster making around $1.03M ($60,882 per game) instead of the $11,500 he'll earn on the Practice Squad. Chances are he has a handshake deal to allow the Cowboys to park him on the PS this week, while they try to trade one of their other young Dlineman - perhaps Trysten Hill.

All of that adds up to the Cowboys planning to dump 3-4 of the players on the current 53-man roster before September 11th. It will be interesting to learn who the Cowboys are dangling as trade bait, and if the Cowboys find any customers, or if they just cut some more young players this coming weeek.

Lol is that what you got from all of this?. Did you forget that 3 or mYbe even 4 guys will be added to IR? Etc

 

[Jarntt]

They can also just call them up from the practice squad to the game day roster a couple of times

 

[nightrain]

Add Peters, release Tyron.

Why wait then. Why haven't they already stashed them on the IR list today, along with Smith and Washington? I think the Cowboys are trying to get some value for players on the roster. They cannot play 12 Dlinemen during the game, so it makes sense that they want to trade someone. Of course, I could be wrong, but that is my guess on what is going on.

That wouldn't be beneficial

Indeed, should have been titled life is but a daydream.

Because they still hVe time to do it man, it's literally barely been 24hrs!. They are looking at the waver wire Nd FA and a bunch of things

He's done, man. It sucks, but it is the likely outcome from this season. 20', 21' and 22' have been a bad stretch for him and it's time for everyone to move on.

We don’t need to dump 3-4 player
We have 3 going on IR for sure and could be 4

At this point you wait tip the offseason, he cam still help with the mental development of 73. It also does not benefit us to fo it financially now especially if he's not taking up a roster spot

Add Peters, release Tyron.

Why would you release Tyron
He will be on IR and if you cut him you are still gonna be paying him

You see all sorts of ignorance here.

Just stop with the salary not guaranteed stuff. We'd far prefer having the guy learning the offense than worry about guaranteeing a low salary. Dude's experience and mentoring will be incredibly valuable for Smith.

Interesting perspective.
They could cut Ridgeway and sign him to the PS
If they need to open up a spot on the 53

A player can be active and not count toward the 53 man limit a total of three times before they have to be elevated. That means we can wait on Maher and whichever QB until Week 3 -- at that point we may have more candidates for IR.

 

[32BellyOption]

Add Peters, release Tyron.

Not sure but perhaps the cap ramifications won’t allow that.

 

[MiddleStar]

Mahr is on a three week tryout. If after 3 weeks they are satisfied then he gets added to the 53 man roster, otherwise they sign another kicker (maybe to the practice squad and repeat for three more weeks) . We technically can do the same thing with the backup QB situation for six weeks. After six weeks then we can decided which we like better and sign them to the 53. In the meantime other injuries will occur so spots will open up. Also, by 6 or maybe even 3 weeks Gallup will probably be playing and a WR can go to the practice squad. Also, we are carring one to many Lbs right now. Also Basham isn't needed. One of the other safeties can step up and make Goodwin expendable. There are numerous ways to create open spots on this roster.
