[Music] the Cowboys initial 53 man roster is out we will break that down here in just a second before we do you guys should subscribe if you haven't already because the Cowboys are not done making moves more are to come in the not too distant future hit that sub button if you haven't already youtube.com/ boystv before we get to the cuts a trade went down about a half hour before Cuts were due Payton Hendershot who had been reportedly going to be waved by Dallas they end up finding a trade partner the Chiefs swoop in giving up a 2026 seventh round pick that pick conveys to Dallas if he is on the 53 man roster for five games or on the active 4648 man roster uh for three games this season so those are the conditions on that front Dallas was going to cut him a good job by the front office to get something back all right players waved five n five names we mentioned yesterday Nate Pete Deontay Bernett cam Johnson ala Kohler Cole cabw couple linebackers Jason Johnson Willie Harvey Jr was one of the surprises yesterday Josh DeBerry Eric Scott we'll see if the commanders claim him Brock marginson keep an eye out for him on the practice squad was one of the ones that came out today Josh ball did not make the Cowboys roster and what but I find a bit of a surprise from the onfield play Matt wetco getting the nod over him he could be claimed Dakota Shepley uh is actually a cut player he goes straight to being able to sign wherever he wants I put him in the wrong spot happens Malik Davis does not make the roster he might have been your 54th player uh on the team right now or I guess technically 55 I'll explain why in a little bit Snoop Connor gets cut no surprise there racy McMath Kelvin Harmon Jaylen Cropper don't mean the cut it wide receiver Princeton Fant just Dustin Rogers as well several players on that list you'd like to find a way to get down to the practice squad we'll see how waivers go those run at noon Eastern tomorrow Denzel daxon is going to be International player pathway program Josh Butler come on Hall he had played pretty good but then missed the final preseason game with an injury ammani Johnson and then also Julius wood and this is probably the one I think you're going to be most worried about getting claimed in general most of the guys don't get claimed off of waivers that's that's how it typically Works what was damn impressive in the preseason so that might be your Isaiah land exception that we'll have to sweat out a little bit I'd still bet he does though but would you have cut Julius wood would you have cut you know like a a tight end we'll get to here in a little bit it's the pin comment on today's video so take advantage of a potential YouTube ad type in why for yes n for no at the pin comment from yesterday three players waved injured they'll revert to IRS IR once CE they clear waivers tomorrow if they clear waivers probably will David Duran Liam hoko and derell Johnson uh some veterans who were cut these guys can sign wherever whenever they want uh and these are prime practice squad candidates if Dallas wants them tyv Johnson Albert Huggins Damen Wilson Carl Lawson as well seems like he wasn't as ready as the Cowboys had hoped for could be a practice squad player turns out Dallas didn't have any guarantees in his contract that that's sizable uh a couple other veterans here Darius Harris and Nick vigil also released by the Dallas Cowboys all three guys are also prime practice squad candidates uh because they don't have to go through waivers and they can be potentially even call-ups game day call-ups as well so those are the cuts players all released some injured moves coming here in a second who are the most surpris who is the most surprising roster cut for you this year drop that player name for me in the comments comments of today's show now one maybe two players put on IR to return Don Bland who has already been designated to return uh that's not a surprise he's going to miss six to eight weeks with that stress fracture in his foot be back as soon as week four I'm curious what happens with Nathan Thomas because he was not announced as a designated to return option but I think by putting him on here they have the ability to decide that they want to do that later on that's how I think the rule Works emphasis on think uh but it's not a guarantee necessarily minimum he's going to spend some time on IR there is another player they'll probably put on IR when they do their roster gymnastics more on that in a minute but the Cowboys roster for now is set at 53 players and more moves not just could be coming more moves will be coming so let's break down who made the roster three quarterbacks nothing surprising here Dak Prescott makes it Cooper Rush makes it Trey Lance makes it that was never really in doubt Cowboys once again rostering three QBs the rest of the batch to come but first a quick word from today's sponsor game time game time is a brand new feature it's

roster that means obviously mentioned Malik Davis our small King it's to ride one more time I don't necessarily think that the Cowboys are done looking at the running back Market we haven't seen the full initial Cuts list we'll see who's out there obviously dvin cook has a visit he could be a practice squad candidate for you that that could be a viable option but I want you guys to name a player that's a free agent that got cut that could be a trade chip even still name a player you want the Cowboys to add let me know in the comments of today's show without fail every year the Cowboys do some semblance of weird roster gymnastics and they done did it again cidd lamb is not technically on the Cowboys 53 man roster having only just signed his extension after his hold out he's actually been put on the exemp list buying him some more time to to get acclimated or whatever this does happen in the NFL he'll be on it tomorrow Thursday when never it ends up being and then they will put somebody else probably on IR to make room for him more on that in a little bit for the time being it's also but not CD lamb Brandon Cooks Jaylen Tober kavante Turpin Jaylen Brooks and Ryan floi makes the roster as wide receiver six well I guess to be wide receiver six tight ends are four they did keep four Jake Ferguson Luke scoon maker John Stevens Jr and then Brevin span for is the fourth and I thought they might only Carry Three they chose to carry four in the end all right offensive line depth chart Nathan Thomas obviously is going to go on is on IR bosk was already put on IR he cannot come back chuma adoga was not placed on IR I think this is going to be some roster gymnastics to to because you only put two guys on IR to start and not have to carry them through the season day one and then put him on IR with the weird gymnastic stuff so I I assume Cowboys will put adoga on IR at some point tomorrow late afternoon tomorrow or Thursday whenever and put lamb back on the active roster gon Tyler Smith Cooper BB Zack Martin teren steel awesome Richards probably going to be your day one backup at left tackle Brock Hoffman TJ bass Matt wetco beats out Josh Paul kind of surprised by that one I think the Cowboys decided two years of Matt W let go was more valuable than one year of Josh ball defensive line only carrying four players Osa odiga Mazy Smith Jordan Phillips and then only technically signed today lynval Joseph which is uh kind of crazy to think about now I want you guys to rate this Cowboys roster Madden style scale it for me from 1 to 99 that's how the Madden roster scale works after all so drop that rating for me in the comments of Today's Show Pass rushers Micah Parsons Demarcus Lawrence Marshon neand johy Goldston surprise Tyrus sweat this is backtack years by the way that Tyrus wheat's been your surprise player added to the roster or sticks around on the roster uh so good for him I think he's going to be a core I think bones fossil loves him on special teams that's what that tells me Sam Williams obviously out for the year on IR aladine Muhammad will spend one game on the suspended list and then the Cowboys have to make a decision about whether or not to keep him or not so have to TBD that one uh and monitor uh what happens with Muhammad after week one linebackers five but be it's five actual uh linebackers this year uh de marvan overon Eric Kendricks Deone Clark Buddy Johnson and Maurice Le aoul I think this actually probably bodess decently well for the there's been some concerns about overshown and Clark's Health but if they' carried six I might have been a little bit a little bit worried uh on that front there but but five linebackers five actual linebackers seven kind of Corners cuz D Duron Bland's on ir and then you know CJ Goodwin is a special team but he made it again they they all bones fossil loves him uh Trayvon Diggs Jordan Lewis cayn Carson Andrew Booth Izzy muuk kuamu makes the roster at safety Malik cooker Donovan Wilson W Thomas Maris Bell Cowboys carrying four did not have room for Julius wood we'll sweat that one out noon tomorrow special teams Brandon Aubrey Brian anger Trent Sig I don't know who your third string punt returner is also quick aside I might bring this up on a future show you know Mike McCarthy made an interesting comment mentioning CED L as a returner I don't think they'd put him on returns bones fossil could get weird with it one quick note before we go it's a tough day for a lot of NFL players it sucks told you're not good enough at the sport you've been so good for so long wish them the best of luck I I have no ill will for almost any of them outside of maybe some uh personal issues I have with Josh ball type good luck in comments section to wish them luck as they look for their next spot which could very well be back with the Cowboys practice squad [Music]
