Seems likely to stick with Dallas to begin year, although not necessarily on 53. Malik Hooker won’t be a Week 1 starter for Cowboys. Not all of them are assured a spot on the 53, even a bigger name like Malik Hooker: The Cowboys brought in a bunch of “name” players during free agency: DE Tarrell Basham, LS Jake McQuaide, OT Ty Nsekhe, DT Carlos Watkins, DT Brent Urban, S Damontae Kazee, S Jayron Kearse, P Bryan Anger, TE Jeremy Sprinkle, LB Keanu Neal, and S Malik Hooker. Undrafted free agents like FB Nick Ralston or RB JaQuan Hardy could be in the mix for the 53, further putting pressure on veteran roster spots.The Cowboys would like to keep players who can develop into position players while performing well on special teams until they are ready - a mindset that clearly favors the potential of the young guys over the experience of the veteran guys. A big part of cutting down the roster is about special teams and about which 46 players will be active every week.Those seven rookies will increase the pressure on the veteran players trying to make the team. DE Chauncey Golston remains on the PUP list and won’t count against the 53-man limit.
