Following the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys roster has an influx of young talent and several new faces around The Star in Frisco.

But the Cowboys aren’t alone in this phenomenon, as every team in the NFL currently possess a bloated roster.

Following the beginning of free agency in March and all the rookies added to teams following last month’s draft, franchises around the league are starting to overflow with players as they begin to prep for offseason OTA’s, minicamp, and eventually training camp.

Thus begins the second part of free agency, as teams begin to release players between now and the start of the regular season.

And as more veterans are added to the free agent market, teams like the Cowboys are going to have to make some difficult choices about who makes their final 53-man roster.
