The Dallas Cowboys have made their final 53-man roster decision—and one of the biggest surprises is that Dallas is keeping THREE quarterbacks. Dak Prescott, Joe Milton and Sam Howell all made the roster, but the decision to keep Howell is raising a major question around Cowboys Nation: **Was keeping a third quarterback worth sacrificing depth at other positions?** On this episode of **Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast**, host James Duncan breaks down the Dallas Cowboys' surprising decision to keep Sam Howell, the ongoing QB2 debate between Howell and Joe Milton, and the roster moves that could leave Dallas vulnerable at running back. Dak Prescott remains the Cowboys' starting quarterback, but the real intrigue is behind him. Joe Milton has generated significant excitement with his size, arm strength, mobility and preseason production, while Howell brings NFL starting experience and another layer of insurance at the most important position in football. But keeping both means Dallas is carrying three quarterbacks on a 53-man roster. And that roster spot has to come from somewhere. Players such as Jaydon Blue and Michael Trigg are among the notable names left on the outside, while Dallas enters the season with just **Javonte Williams and Malik Davis** at running back. Does that make running back the Cowboys' biggest remaining weakness? Could Dallas be forced to add another back before the regular season? And did the Cowboys make the right decision prioritizing quarterback depth over another position? James Duncan also examines the bigger roster picture, including a defense led by stars such as Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Von Miller. While Dallas has plenty of talent at the top of the depth chart, questions remain about linebacker and cornerback depth—and injuries could put that depth to the test quickly. The Cowboys' 53-man roster may be set, but the roster-building isn't necessarily finished. **Was keeping Sam Howell worth the roster spot?** Would you rather have three quarterbacks or another running back? And if Dallas makes ONE more move before Week 1, which position should Jerry Jones address? Cowboys Nation, YOU'RE THE GM: keep Sam Howell, or use his roster spot somewhere else?
