The Dallas Cowboys begin their offseason work in earnest on Monday. The club has been through Phase One and Phase Two of the allowable offseason schedule up until this point. That allows the team to have install meeetings, strength and conditioning work along with rehab, escalating to on-field work at a walk-through pace.
As of Monday, they will have several sessions where they can go at full speed, just without contact, doing 7-on-7, 9-on-9 and 11-on-11. It will give the coaching staff and front office a chance to test the theories they’ve developed over the last month of who will really be able to help them in 2023.
There are always going to be surprises, but it’s still a fun exercise to stop along the way and predict who will be part of the club’s efforts to bring home Lombardi No. 6. Here are our thoughts, position by position, on who makes the club’s original roster.
As it’s just OTAs, several categories we use in our closer-to-the-season predictions are removed here, including “Making it, but moving to IR”, “Cut but coming right back”, “Cut to go to practice squad” and “Going to PUP/NFI/Season-ending IR.”
