The Dallas Cowboys are continuing to make some changes to the roster ahead of next month's training camp in Oxnard, California. The latest shakeup comes in the defensive backfield.
This week, the Cowboys announced the signing of cornerback Robert Rochell in the latest series of roster moves. Dallas released cornerback Luq Barcoo as a result. They also signed defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, while releasing Justin Rogers on Wednesday evening.
Rochell has little starting experience, but has played in 48 career NFL games. The only five starts during his professional career came during his rookie season, when the Los Angeles Rams went on to win Super Bowl LVI.
The 27-year-old joined the league as a fourth-round pick out of Central Arkansas in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Throughout his career, Rochell has also had brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, and Kansas City Chiefs.
Dallas has struggled to stay health in the secondary in recent years, so adding bodies for training camp is a move that makes a lot of sense for the team. Whether Rochell proves to be a valuable assett remains to be seen, but it's a low-risk move for the Cowboys to continue adding competition.
