Allocating the 53-man roster spots for the 2021 Cowboys

Between now and August 31st, NFL teams will have to accomplish the harshest part of the preseason and that’s deciding who makes the 53-man roster. The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of players in their 90-man offseason pool that currently look to be in a group of perhaps ten or fifteen players that will vie for the final five to seven spots. It isn’t just about talent, however. In order to figure out the cuts, the staff has to figure out just how many players they can carry at each position. If they go heavy somewhere, another spot has to be light.
