There are always a few surprises or curious decisions when the Cowboys cut their roster down to 53 players.
What took place Saturday afternoon qualifies as shocking.
Dan Bailey is gone. The club decided to cut the second-most accurate kicker in NFL history and keep a fourth tight end who was in jail when the day began.
No direct link exists between the decision to release Bailey and keep Rico Gathers, who was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana. But it does underscore what a strange, unpredictable day it was at The Star.
