This is pure speculation on my part as I cannot find any reports of this happening. Veteran players might become disgruntled after signing with a new team and displaying their dissatisfaction when having been beaten out by a player they were essentially signed to replace. I believe there are two factors to consider here. It appears that safety Darian Thompson might have a stranglehold pf a starting position over him.

When the Cowboys signed Clinton-Dix this offseason, almost everyone pegged him as a walk-on starter. I think safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix could be a casualty considering the high hopes for him this offseason. The first surprising cut wouldn’t be all that surprising considering the reports coming from training camp. After a thorough analysis, I think I have a few unpopular choices that I doubt will happen but I would understand why they potential would. Nevertheless, the national media is starting to make their own predictions, which allowed my mind to wander and think about any surprising Cowboys’ cuts. After going over the roster, I think I have 51 of the 53 spots locked up with a coin flip call on the final two spots. The cuts have already started with the Cowboys reportedly letting go of seven players already. But there have been a few surprising moves in the past like kicker Dan Bailey’s untimely release back in 2018. The Cowboys rarely make waves during cutdown day. NFL teams will have to trim down their 80-man roster to just 53 players by Saturday, 4:00 p.m. The Dallas Cowboys have made a few surprising cuts in the past which makes me wonder if the new staff will make a surprising move.
