We are crowded on the DL

[LocimusPrime]

Tank Lawrence's career stats
3 years
75 tackles
9 sacks


4th year is the charm?

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Last year we kept 8 with 4 RBs and 2 FBs... Its plausible we could keep the top 10 listed above. Looking at the numbers the most likely player to not make it on the top ten list is Moore. Next would be Thornton, but the reality is we only really have 2 1techs. Tapper is a potential cut as well if they can't get his back right. Would be surprised if any of the other 4 guys made the team unless they outplay Paea or Thornton a lot.

Watch us try to trade Lawrence

HUH?

#1 they wouldn't get anything because he's in the last year of his contract and he's coming off his second back surgery

#2 when healthy he can provide some pass rush from a spot where the Cowboys are somewhat spotty.

 

[okstateCowboy]

Will be less crowded next offseason. Dlaw and Thornton will be gone. Plus Gregorys not coming back. Sure 1 or 2 more also.

Crawford may get cut as well

 

[xwalker]

without being able to factor in injuries...who stays and who goes?

1. Taco Charlton
2. Demarcus Lawerence
3. Malik Collins
4. Benson Mayowa
5. Cedric Thornton
6. David Irving
7. Tyrone Crawford
8. Charles Tapper
9. Damontre Moore
10.Stephen Paea

Randy Gregory

Jordan Carrell
Joey Ivie
Lenny Jones
Richard Ash


Not sure how many UDFA's we got

Lewis Neal??

They have kept as many as 11 since going back to the 4-3.

Ivie or Carrell would likely need to beat out Thorton to get a spot.

There is no guarantee that Moore earns a spot.

Gregory is out.

There could always be an injury causing somebody to start on the PUP.

 

[xwalker]

Crawford may get cut as well

His salary is guaranteed for this season.

 

[xwalker]

I wouldnt mind one bit if T Crawford is one of our final cuts...I would like to know what that would save us if anything....You gotta figure one of the young pups makes ie.. Ivie or Carrell.

Base salary is guaranteed for 2017.

 

[okstateCowboy]

His salary is guaranteed for this season.

Yes, I was referring to next season

 

[xwalker]

I'd seriously just cut Gregory at this point... he's not helping anyone... I'd rather keep one of the high motor 7th rounders... I'll wish him all the luck and vote to legalize when the time comes but he's wasting space.

I think you are confused. Randy Gregory is suspended. He does not get paid and he does not take up and roster spot.

Dallas is definitely heavy on left side. Have to see what Tapper & Taco can do from right side. With alot of depth on this team and bunch of draft picks last year...I wouldn't rule out trade toward end of camp if Dallas isn't satisfied at RDE.

Didn't realize he doesn't hold a roster spot

 

[conner01]

I see us keeping 9 or 10
A couple end up on ps
Injuries will get one or two
Suspension gets one
The numbers will take care of themselves

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Crawford may get cut as well

No he won't.

Not for this season... There's no financial incentive to cut him (now).

In addition he still played reasonably well with one-arm last season.

 

[AsthmaField]

This is what I was trying to tell some folks who thought we should have spent our top 3 picks on the DL.

They clearly have exactly zero insight into just how many bodies we have on the unit and how many are young enough and have flashed enough that the team (rightly or wrongly) is not yet ready to completely give up on for a rookie.

Some people just don't listen... or use common sense.

 

[okstateCowboy]

I was referring to next season. Read the post I was responding to

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

Not exactly Doomsday material. We needed speed pass rushers & we got squat. Rodgers will burn us again this year, unless we can steal another Irving from someone's PS.

 

[lwehlers]

I think that moore and thornton both could be cut to make room for the draft picks. we are stuck another year with Crawford. his cap hit is to much to take this year if cut. maybe next year the cowboys can split the dead money and release him then. moore is just on a one year league deal so he has no dead money if he is cut. then again injuries might happen so maybe no one gets cut.

I think Thornton would need to have a terrible training camp in order to be cut.

I could see 10 but IMO, I think Dallas will go long at DB (DB's help more on special teams than DL) which would make it more difficult to go 10 on the DL. I think 9 is the more likely scenario.

CB:
1. Awuzie
2. Lewis
3. Brown
4. Carroll
5. Scandrick

S:
6. B Jones
7. Heath
8. Woods
9. Frazier
10. Blanton

White on Practice Squad

Blanton and Frazier would be the ones in jeopardy of losing their jobs. It will all depend on how they play in camp and on special teams. Also, with the flex some of those corners have to move to safety, Blanton or Frazier could get cut for White if he plays well enough.

A lot of questions about both DL and the secondary at this point.

 

[gmoney112]

Look at the average age of these guys, haha wow.

Honestly I'd just carry ten and stash a few of the fiery/potential guys that were UDFA as PS candidates.

It's also very possible, and likely that an injury or two could make the decision easy for us.

Regardless, given their youth I'd like to carry them all (top 10). Between DL and DB I'd like to carry 20, 10 each, given our youth at the positions.
