The Cowboys have thinned their ranks at a position of excellent depth.
Defensive end Tarell Basham is being waived by the club, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Basham saw just 26 defensive snaps in Weeks 1 and 10,
his only two game appearances of 2022. He had spent much of the season on injured reserve with a quad injury,
returning to the active roster in early November.
The #Cowboys are waiving DE Tarell Basham, per source. Dallas had a surplus at the position. A pass rusher on waivers.
Basham’s departure still leaves six outstanding ends on the roster: DeMarcus Lawrence,
Dorance Armstrong, Sam Williams, Dante Fowler, Chauncey Golston,
and Carlos Watkins. Micah Parsons sees snaps at the position,
and edge rusher Takk McKinley is a recent addition to the practice squad, though both are technically listed as linebackers.
