The Dallas Cowboys are in the business of making moves on Thursday. If you thought the trade of All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons is where the train would stop, think again. The team has claimed former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Trevor Keegan off waivers. In a corresponding move to free up a roster spot, the team has released second-year wide receiver Ryan Flournoy.
The move is a bit surprising considering the Cowboys had ten offensive linemen already on the roster after bringing back Hakeem Adeniji on Wednesday. Keegan was a fifth-round pick by the Eagles in 2024, so Dallas is getting a younger offensive lineman to develop for the next few seasons.
On the flip side, releasing Flournoy is also confusing, considering his absence leaves just CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin, and Jalen Tolbert as the only four wide receivers on the active roster. They do have Jalen Brooks, Jalen Cropper, and Traeshon Holden on the practice squad, so they could always elevate someone to fill the need.
Flournoy was coming off his best camp and preseason performance as a pro and was becoming a solid special teams player. Dallas could bring him back to the practice squad, and the move does not mean a lot, but if there’s just one team that finds value in what Flournoy has shown up to this point, Dallas could lose him to a waiver claim tomorrow.
