Seven Dallas Cowboys who could be traded or released

#2. Lucky Whitehead, Wide Receiver

The drafting of Ryan Switzer pretty much guarantees that Lucky Whitehead will have to become a more versatile player if he hopes to stay on the roster.

Switzer is an incredible receiver with a ton talent for making plays. Whitehead has been an average receiver and slightly above average return man but it says a lot that the Cowboys would draft a player who could fill his role so easily. It would be fairly shocking if the team kept Whitehead and Switzer and utilized them both effectively.

#3. Nolan Carroll, Cornerback

Carroll is one of the newest members of this team, however, he still needs to prove that he can be effective on the field. The Cowboys drafted three cornerbacks and while they may be rookies, they are incredibly talented.

Carroll could easily come into camp and earn a starting role but at the very least he could be a nice trade asset for Dallas.

#4. Stephen Paea, Defensive Tackle

Paea has really been a role player for most of his career and that has garnered him some respect amongst franchises around the league. He will need to earn his spot on this roster however as he competes with some younger and possibly more productive talent.

Paea is another veteran who could add some trade value to this fairly young roster or finally find a key role with a contending organization. If Stephen is on the roster, he will need to show the ability to help pressure the quarterback if he will want to keep the Star on his helmet.
