3:30 p.m. -- The Cowboys made their first set of roster moves ahead of rookie minicamp, which begins later this week for the nine new draft picks that Dallas selected in the 2025 NFL Draft as well as undrafted free agents.
On Wednesday, the team waived RB Malik Davis, OG Jack Anderson, LB Brock Mogensen, and OT Earl Bostick Jr.
Additionally, the team utilized the league's international exemption for DT Denzel Daxon, which allows them to carry an extra player on the roster. The Cowboys utilized the same exemption for Daxon last season.

1:31 p.m. – The Cowboys don't appear to be done adding help at wide receiver, a position that was not addressed in the draft.
But one thing seemed clear when Brian Schottenheimer assessed the position – KaVontae Turpin is considered more just a return specialist.
Schottenheimer said he plans on Turpin being used more on offense this year, something we saw as the 2024 season progressed, with him being used as a receiver and running back. Turpin was first-team All-Pro yet again as a return specialist, becoming the only player in the NFL to have a kickoff and punt return for a touchdown.
"I think he's a dynamic weapon. I think he's a dynamic player. I can't say enough about his growth in the understanding of the football scheme over the last couple years," Schottenheimer said. "It's KaVontae doing the work to be able to move him around, and there's really nothing he can't do. We're moving him in positions that two years ago, But incredible talent. It's awesome to see him maturing as a football player."
The Cowboys signed Turpin to a three-year deal this past offseason, worth up to $18 million.

1:00 p.m. -- In the Cowboys' pre-draft press conference, owner/general manager Jerry Jones said that the team was exploring two "substantive" trades heading into the NFL Draft. On Friday, COO and co-owner Stephen Jones said those options are still on the table.
"I think those are things that could still be there after the draft," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. "Sometimes those things have a way of sticking around. Sometimes they don't. We're always looking at ways to acquire players."
With that in mind, the Cowboys likely head into the rest of the draft looking to fill the holes in their roster with the best player available in each round, and then utilize the option of a trade or even free agent signing to follow their philosophy of looking to add players 24/7, 365.
