CORNERBACK (6) Trevon Diggs, Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis, Nahshon Wright, DaRon Bland, C.J. ![]() Adding another vet free agent would help ease those concerns because the thought of Gifford or Hansford starting is cringe worthy. LVE raises red flags due to his injury history as does Jabril Cox coming back from a season-ending knee injury. Other than Micah Parsons, the Cowboys LB position is a bit of a concern. LINEBACKER (6) Micah Parsons, Leighton Vander Esch, Jabril Cox, Luke Gifford, Aaron Hansford, free agent (TBA) This is a neck-and-neck race that will be sorted out in practice. Both could be in the running to take over Randy Gregory’s former starting job, but Williams, Fowler, and Basham are in the running as well. The only question here is who plays opposite DeMarcus Lawrence this year? Armstrong and Golston provide DE/DT flex for much-needed depth at both positions. DEFENSIVE END (6) DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong, Chauncey Golston, De Williams, Dante Fowler, Tarell Basham Other than that it’s all the same faces except for Trysten Hill, who is looking like the odd man out entering a contract year with younger players drafted by this coaching regime behind him. The only new addition at DT for the Cowboys in 2022 is John Ridgeway, who could play an important role as a rookie this year. James Empey, an undrafted free agent, helps upgrade the depth at the position and provides a solid backup if/when needed.ĭefense Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images DEFENSIVE TACKLE (5) Neville Gallimore, Osa Odighizuwa, John Ridgeway, Quinton Bohanna, Carlos Watkins Tyler Biadasz won’t go unchallenged this year for the starting job at center, however, it’s highly unlikely he gets unseated. McGovern will likely continue his role as the primary backup behind them both with Farniok probably serving as the backup guard/center. Zack Martin is a given and Tyler Smith is the odds on favorite to replace Connor Williams at left guard. GUARD (4) Zack Martin, Tyler Smith, Connor McGovern, Matt Farniok A veteran addition sounds unlikely considering Tyler Smith’s position flex and if you believe what Jerry and Stephen Jones have been saying. Tyron Smith and Terence Steele are the starting bookends in 2022, leaving Matt Waletzko and Josh Ball to battle it out for the swing tackle role. OFFENSIVE TACKLE (4) Tyron Smith, Terence Steele, Matt Waletzko, Josh Ball Sprinkle gets the nod here for his special teams value. ![]() Jake Ferguson has a real shot to earn the backup role and the TE3 spot will likely be a fight between Jeremy Sprinkle and Sean McKeon. TIGHT END (3) Dalton Schultz, Jake Ferguson, Jeremy Sprinkleĭalton Schultz is the unquestionable starter in 2022, but the pecking order behind him is completely up in the air. Another free agent addition is possible, however, the Cowboys haven’t shown any signs of going that direction yet. Michael Gallup will likely start the 2022 season on the PUP list, leaving CeeDee Lamb as pretty much the only proven WR currently on the roster. WIDE RECEIVER (5) CeeDee Lamb, James Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown, Semi Fehoko, Michael Gallup The tandem of Zeke and Tony Pollard will reprise their roles as Dallas’ top two RBs and Ryan Nall was one of their few free agent signings who adds depth and special teams value, and can also act as a fullback. RUNNING BACK (3) Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard, Ryan Nall ![]() Any developmental QB will likely be stashed on the practice squad. In Dak Prescott and Cooper rush, the Dallas Cowboys have their starter and backup QBs for the 2022 season.

With organized team activities (OTA’s), minicamp, and training camp still to come in the coming weeks and months, it’s still way too early to predict with any kind of accuracy what the final 53-man roster will look like. With the 2022 NFL Draft now officially in the books, we can now start turning our attention to what the Dallas Cowboys roster could look like for the upcoming season.
