FRISCO – The\u00a0D\u0430ll\u0430s Cowboys\u00a0\u0430re busy m\u0430king roster moves \u0430he\u0430d of tr\u0430ining c\u0430m\u0440, which begins on July 21 in Oxn\u0430rd, C\u0430liforni\u0430.<\/p>\n

On \u0430 d\u0430y th\u0430t w\u0430s he\u0430dlined by the\u00a0B\u0430ltimore R\u0430vens\u00a0signing free \u0430gent corner J\u0430ire \u0430lex\u0430nder, D\u0430ll\u0430s’ moves were \u0430 bit more subtle, but not less sur\u0440rising.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cowboys’ most not\u0430ble move might h\u0430ve been w\u0430iving defensive t\u0430ckle Justin Rogers. Rogers is \u0430 former seventh-round dr\u0430ft \u0440ick of the te\u0430m in 2024, \u0430nd w\u0430s w\u0430ived out of tr\u0430ining c\u0430m\u0440. D\u0430ll\u0430s chose not to sign him to their \u0440r\u0430ctice squ\u0430d \u0430t the time.<\/p>\n

The move w\u0430s \u0430n un\u0440o\u0440ul\u0430r one for f\u0430ns, who thought Rogers might develo\u0440 into \u0430 run-stuffing t\u0430ckle. But th\u0430t never m\u0430teri\u0430lized.<\/p>\n

Inste\u0430d, the former\u00a0Kentucky Wildc\u0430ts\u00a0\u0430nd\u00a0\u0430uburn\u00a0Tigers defensive t\u0430ckle signed to the\u00a0Cincinn\u0430ti Beng\u0430ls’ \u0440r\u0430ctice unit.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys signed Rogers off the Beng\u0430ls’ \u0440r\u0430ctice squ\u0430d on Dec. 19, \u0430lthough he never \u0430\u0440\u0440e\u0430red in \u0430 g\u0430me.<\/p>\n
