The time is drawing near when the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the league have to get down to the league mandated 53-man roster. Tough decisions are going to have to be made and that means we may be saying goodbye to a few players who in any other year may have earned a roster spot. Here are a few of the training camp/preseason standouts who may not make the cut.
WR Traeshon Holden
The undrafted rookie wide receiver out of Oregon quickly became a fan favorite around Cowboys Nation due to his play in both training camp and preseason. But, that may not be enough for him to make it through roster cuts when Dallas gets down to the league mandated 53-man roster. Dallas’ WR depth this year has been really impressive. Because of that, Holden could be caught in a numbers game where he’s the odd man out. His best chance of sticking around may be re-signing to the practice squad.
DT Perrion Winfrey
As it was prior to preseason, it remains so now. Defensive tackle is with a doubt the weak link for the Dallas Cowboys roster right now. There was one player who stood out among his peers though, Perrion Winfrey. He wasn’t perfect by any means, but he played well enough to earn a roster spot this year. Still, it may not be enough for him to stick around. The Cowboys are going to be scouring the waiver wire and possibly facilitating another trade to upgrade the DT position. That puts Winfrey on the outside looking in.
DE James Houston
Based on performance alone, James Houston is definitely deserving of a roster spot with the Cowboys in 2025. Since arriving in Dallas as a late free agent signing a little over four weeks ago, he has done nothing but impress in both practice and in preseason as well. He’s continuously making plays every time he’s on the field. Unfortunately for him, the Cowboys are currently stacked at DE and he could be an unfortunate cut because of the numbers game.
