FRISCO, Texas – The first Saturday in September is always the busiest day around the league as teams are trimming its rosters down, putting over a thousand names onto the waiver wire.
Because of that, and the NFL’s 24-hour waiver rule, it can create quite a busy Sunday as well.
That was definitely the case for the Cowboys, who made a few more roster moves and could have some more before the team returns to the practice field Tuesday to prepare for the season opener with the Giants.
The most surprising transaction for the Cowboys Sunday centered on the release of veteran defensive tackle Cedric Thornton, who had spent just one season with the club after four years in Philly.
