In a significant move to make space for the incoming rookie class after the 2025 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys have cut four players from their roster, with running back Malik Davis being the most notable name among them. Davis, who originally joined Dallas as an undrafted rookie in 2022, saw limited playtime in subsequent seasons, rushing for only 161 yards in 12 games during his rookie season and not appearing at all in 2024. Alongside Davis, offensive linemen Earl Bostick and Jack Anderson, along with linebacker Brock Mogensen, were also waived.

Following the draft, where the Cowboys selected two running backs, their roster now features a more competitive backfield comprising rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, along with established players like Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. Deuce Vaughn remains the only back from the previous season in the mix. As the Cowboys reshape their roster, the new configurations will undoubtedly impact their offensive strategies and overall performance in the upcoming season.
