The Dallas Cowboys made some interesting decisions regarding their 53-man roster, which was finalized on Saturday.
After releasing 20 players, including one from the 2010 draft, the Cowboys enter the regular season with just two tight ends and three cornerbacks on the roster.
Dallas elected to go with Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett at tight end and keep undrafted rookie free agent Chris Gronkowski as an extra fullback with starter Deon Anderson.
Dallas could have kept a third tight end in Martin Rucker, but he was signed just two weeks ago and didn't have enough time to distinguish himself.
Another major decision surrounded wide receiver Sam Hurd, whom the team tried to trade in the last 48 hours. When a deal couldn't get completed, the Cowboys decided to keep him. Hurd, who led the team with 19 special teams tackles last season, has just 31 catches as he enters his fifth NFL season.
