The Dallas Cowboys have seen a lot of changes on the football side of things specifically through the Mike McCarthy era, and going through roster cuts with a new defensive coordinator in Mike Zimmer brought another surprising one. Seventh-round pick DT Justin Rogers was waived, despite having a very strong training camp and preseason at a position that wasn’t seen as a strength for most of the offseason in Dallas.
Mazi Smith had all of the attention put on him at the DT position, specifically the one-tech/ nose tackle spot that Rogers also played, as the Cowboys still want to give last year’s first-round pick opportunity to develop in a new scheme.
