Each NFL team is allowed a maximum of 90 players under contract on its offseason roster right now. The Cowboys technically have 77 players under contract on their roster right now, but if they sign their nine draft picks and nine UDFA players, they’d be at 95 total players. One of those 95 players, DT Denzel Daxon, is an International Pathway Player and doesn’t count against the total, but that still leaves the Cowboys with four players that need to be cut over the coming days.
And even then, the roster will continue to change over the coming weeks and months, and because the Cowboys will be maxed out against the 90-player limit, every single new signing will have to be accompanied by a corresponding player being released who is currently on the roster.
