The Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFL had to trim their rosters down to 53 players<\/a> on Sunday, something that wasn’t easy to do.<\/p>\n

Dallas deserves credit for building a strong depth chart, which meant there were some very difficult cuts to make. That included saying goodbye to two running backs who were fan favorites as rookies one year ago in Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. Out of the two, Blue was the more shocking cut<\/a>, especially after he entered training camp on a high note.<\/p>\n

Another surprising release was tight end Michael Trigg<\/a>, who had been a standout throughout the offseason. In the end, the Cowboys felt better about Luke Schoonmaker as their TE3 behind Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford.<\/p>\n

Prior to their cutdowns, Dallas also added some help by trading for offensive tackle Broderick Jones<\/a>, a former first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. His addition meant Nate Thomas would be on the way out, and Thomas was traded to the Houston Texans<\/a> for a seventh-round pick.<\/p>\n

As for those who made the roster, one of the more intriguing names was Camden Brown. The undrafted free agent was a star throughout the preseason and ended up making the roster with Dallas realizing they couldn’t expose him to waivers<\/a>. With all that said, here’s a look at the initial Cowboys’ 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

Dallas could still shake things up with teams being able to make waiver claims until 1:00 p.m. EST on Monday. Of course, anyone they add would mean someone on the current 53-man roster will be in danger of losing their spot.<\/p>\n
