The Cowboys quietly released three players from the bottom of their roster on Monday. With the 2023 NFL Draft starting tonight, Dallas was clearly making room for their impending influx of rookie talent. Did these releases reveal anything about the team’s draft priorities?
The three cuts were not players of consequence; TE Ian Bunting, LB Devante Bond, and CB Isaac Taylor-Stuart. Mostly practice squad guys, only Bunting had ever appeared in the regular season for Dallas and it was just a handful of snaps in one 2021 game.
While these releases may have simply been about players the team felt had the least chance of making the roster in August, is it at all telling that they came from the tight end, linebacker, and cornerback positions?
