2014 was Tony Romo's last best chance to take the team to the Super Bowl. That season ended with "The Catch" that was called incomplete in the game against Green Bay. If not for an injury against Washington, the Cowboys likely would have gone 13-3 and had home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Instead, they found themselves in a 3-way tie for 1st place in the NFC, and due to tie breaker rules, they became the 3rd seed - despite the fact that they beat the Seahawks, and the Seahawks beat the Packers. Due to the loss against the Commanders, the Cowboys had more NFC losses than Seattle or Green Bay, and got the 3rd seed.
From that team, which included new "triplets" Tony Romo, DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant, plus perennial Pro Bowl player Jason Witten, only 12 players remain on the team. The other 81 players** currently on the Cowboys roster were all acquired since the 2015 season. In fact, Byron Jones, Randy Gregory, and Chaz Green are the 13th, 14th, and 15th longest tenured players on the team. Here are the 12 players that remain from that 2014 Playoff Team, with the date they joined the Cowboys. It includes 5 undrafted players, and 7 premium draft picks:
1. 09/27/05 – LS L.P. Ladouceur – UDFA (2005 UDFA by NO) Pro Bowl 2014
2. 04/23/10 – LB Sean Lee – 2nd round pick Pro Bowl 2015, 2016
3. 04/28/11 – OT Tyron Smith – 1st round pick Pro Bowl 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
4. 07/25/11 – PK Dan Bailey – UDFA Pro Bowl 2015
5. 07/29/11 – P Chris Jones – UDFA
6. 04/27/12 – DE Tyrone Crawford – 3rd round pick
7. 04/29/12 – WR Cole Beasley – UDFA
8. 04/25/13 – OC Travis Frederick – 1st round pick Pro Bowl 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
9. 04/26/13 – WR Terrance Williams – 3rd round pick
10. 04/28/13 – SS Jeff Heath – UDFA
