The Dallas Cowboys are running out of roster spots, and the tight end and running back rooms could produce some of the toughest cuts before the final 53-man roster is set. On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast, host James Duncan breaks down his projected Dallas Cowboys cuts at tight end and running back and reveals which players he believes have earned a spot on the roster—and which players may be left searching for their next opportunity. At tight end, Jake Ferguson is firmly established as Dallas' TE1, but the battle behind him is far less certain. Brevon Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker are fighting for roster security, while preseason standout Michael Trigg faces a completely different challenge after suffering a toe injury. Trigg has shown enough potential to become one of the Cowboys' most intriguing young offensive players, but injuries can completely change the math on cut day. Should Dallas find a way to stash Trigg and preserve his development, or does the injury force the Cowboys to make a difficult roster decision? Then comes the running back battle. Javonte Williams is locked into the conversation at the top of the Dallas backfield, but the competition behind him is wide open. Malik Davis has made a strong case with his reliability and preseason production, while Jaydon Blue continues to flash the explosive athleticism that made him such an intriguing young player. Meanwhile, Phil Mafah could be one of the most difficult players to cut because his upside could make him a target for another NFL team. Where does that leave Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin? With limited roster spots and several players fighting for the same opportunities, Dallas may be forced to choose between proven depth, explosive potential and developmental upside. James Duncan puts himself in the Cowboys' front office seat and makes the tough calls: Who stays? Who gets cut? Who goes to the practice squad? And which player could Dallas regret losing once another NFL team comes calling? Cowboys Nation, YOU are the general manager. Which running backs and tight ends are you keeping on the final 53-man roster? Would you keep Michael Trigg despite his injury? And who wins the RB2 battle: Malik Davis or Jaydon Blue?
