Cowboys news: Jayron Kearse identified as a player on the roster bubble

George Iloka and HaHa Clinton-Dix have proven in recent years that not all Cowboys free agency signings are locks to make the roster. Could there be a third straight safety who fails to make the cut? ESPN seems to think so.

Kearse signed with Dallas in late March. The Clemson product was a seventh-round draft pick by Minnesota in 2016. The nephew of former Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse and the cousin of Raiders ex-cornerback Phillip Buchanon, Kearse seemingly had the DNA to make some noise in a pro defense.

But over four seasons, Kearse got just five starts with the Vikings.
