2021 Roster moves

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Cam has been reduced to "are you better than Cooper Rush"

Just read that Cam is not vaccinated. This could be a factor. We dont need Dak going on covid list.

Here is a nice summary. I'm a little confused by the note on Golston though. I thought because he never practiced he was eligible for IR return without needing to be on the initial 53 like Hill. I guess passing the physical overrides this.

 

[jarntt]

So if this is final I guess we can bring back or sign only one guy?
53 less 6 - Move Golston, Ball, McKeon, Gallimore, Joseph, Turner to IR.
47 + 5 = 52 - Bring back Brown, Lamb, Williams, Watkins, Kazee from COVID list.
52 + 1 = 53 - We have no long snapper so that's the initial move (McQuade) I guess. As we shuffle the roster I suspect we bring back Sprinkle or sign a TE until McKeon is back.

That doesn't seem right. Maybe we aren't down to 53 yet or my math is off base

here is more on cuts/moves

FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys waived/released 24 players Tuesday, including quarterbacks Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci, to reach the NFL's 53-man roster limit.
Here's the full list:
Released (not subject to waivers)

• QB Garrett Gilbert
• S Darian Thompson
• CB Deante Burton
• LS Jake McQuaide
• OT Eric Smith
• TE Jeremy Sprinkle
• DT Justin Hamilton

Waived

• WR Johnnie Dixon
• QB Ben DiNucci
• WR Osirus Mitchell
• WR Reggie Davis
• WR Aaron Parker
• S Steven Parker
• RB Brenden Knox
• RB JaQuan Hardy
• S Tyler Coyle
• FB Nick Ralston
• TE Nick Eubanks
• TE Artayvious Lynn
• DE Austin Faoliu
• OT Isaac Alarcon
• C Braylon Jones
• WR Brandon Smith
• DE Ron'Dell Carter

Defensive tackle Trysten Hill reverted to the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list for at least the first six weeks of the season, per NFL rules. It's the same timeline for wide receiver T.J. Vasher, who reverts to the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list. Both players counted toward the training camp roster but did not participate due to injury.

Wide receiver Noah Brown has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Defensive end Chauncey Golston, who spent camp on the Active/PUP list, passed his physical and counts toward the 53.
By no means have the Cowboys finalized the roster, however.
A few players will be eligible to go on the recallable Reserve/Injured list after Tuesday, once they've been on the 53-man roster for a day. Candidates include defensive tackle Neville Gallimore (elbow), tight end Sean McKeon (ankle) and offensive tackle Josh Ball (ankle). So it's possible that one or more of the seven veteran players released Tuesday, including long snapper Jake McQuaide, could be signed back at some point. As vested veterans, they're not required to go through the waiver process.
The club is also hopeful that four players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list – wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, guard/center Connor Williams, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins and safety Damontae Kazee – will be activated soon.
And of course, the Cowboys will keep an eye on the waiver wire and players cut by other teams. Positions thin on depth include running back and tight end. Currently the Cowboys have just two running backs (Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard) and two healthy tight ends (Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz).
The Cowboys will start to put together their 16-man practice squad Wednesday after players clear waivers.

Obviously, though, there's still of moves left to make.
Stay tuned.

I'm thinking the 2nd, but if it were my call I don't see how you move on from a guy who has never had a bad snap. But, Fassel loves him "his guys"

 

[Schmoopy1000]

we didnt keep the fullback?

 

[Manster7588]

I'm thinking it's because they have to have guys on the active roster before they IR them.
Some guys will be IR'd and FB and LS will be filled.

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

I dont get why Steele was not released. He is as bad of offensive lineman as Burton was a DB. All I keep hearing is Steele is not as bad as Chaz Greene. Terrible justification if you ask me. Steele was terrible last season and still terrible in pre season this year. I am ok with keeping Steele on the practice squad until he resembles an NFL player.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

My man Pharoah got released. Of course we dont need help at WR. Jags let some names go

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Will Grier - i like it.

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Ben Denucci on practice squad. Somebody needs to work with him ,specifically to not throw side arm all the time.

Ben Denucci on practice squad. Somebody needs to work with him ,specifically to not throw side arm all the time.

I would rather he not even be on the practice squad. He is not an NFL Qb. I don't know what more they need to see.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Alcaron got cut. When they show him on Hard Knocks it looks like he does really good. Hopefully he makes practice squad

[Manster7588]

Do we have a LS yet?

I like him on the practice squad.
Until we have a decent option on the 53 man squad.
He has legs he can run scout teams from teams with mobile QBs.
If he gets his head on straight he could be very serviceable. If not it isnt costing us anything to cut him later.

A lot of fixable things to him. Like stepping into his throws. Decision making.
FIx those two things alone could be huge. If not. If someone comes to us with actual potential (not just some retread) then replace him. No harm no foul.
right now he has his uses to help the team prep.
