5 players who won't be on the Cowboys' 53-man roster come Week 1
- How many DTs will the Cowboys carry?
- Familiar names on the roster bubble
- 2 free agent signings face long odds
By Jerry Trotta
1. Neville Gallimore, DT
We suppose you can call this the biggest surprise of the bunch, but would it really surprise if Gallimore got the axe?
After all, we're talking about a player who was a healthy scratch for the team's first playoff game against the Bucs. That spoke volumes about how the coaching staff viewed him by the end of the season.
Even before the playoffs Gallimore wasn't a major contributor. He finished with a career-low 37 percent snap share and 10 percent share on special teams. The fact he was relegated to special teams (47 snaps and three total over his first two seasons) is another testament to his falling stock.
Assuming Quinton Bohanna is ahead of Gallimore in the pecking order, Dallas' DL room could compose of Osa Odighizuwa, Mazi Smith, Johnathan Hankins, Chauncey Golston, Junior Fehoko and Bohanna.
There's one less body to compete with after Carlos Watkins left in free agency, but it wouldn't surprise at all if Gallimore gets cut.
