The Dallas Cowboys are through OTAs, and while it is still early in the offseason, the roster battles are already starting to take shape. In this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, we break down four Cowboys players who could be on the roster bubble heading into training camp.

Zac takes a closer look at Jonathan Mingo, Markquese Bell, Trikweze Bridges, and Israel Abanikanda, and explains why each player may have a tougher path to the 53-man roster than fans realize. From a crowded wide receiver room, to a deep safety group, to cornerback competition, to the Cowboys’ changing running back depth chart, there are several spots where Dallas may have difficult decisions to make.

We also talk through how OTAs impacted these battles, which players are ahead of them on the depth chart, and why training camp and preseason reps will matter so much for players fighting for roster spots.

Jonathan Mingo’s uphill climb in the Cowboys wide receiver room
