Cowboys tight end tabbed as cut candidate by NFL analyst ahead of training camp

The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason is mercifully coming to an end as the Cowboys will head to training camp this week.

They had an uneventful five months that was highlighted by bringing back running back Ezekiel Elliott and watching several of their free agents follow Dan Quinn to Washington.

As we inch closer to camp, though, one of Dallas’ pass-catchers has been tabbed as a potential cut candidate. Dakota Randall of Pro Football Network says to keep an eye on Dallas letting go of tight end Peyton Hendershot.

“Peyton Hendershot was active for all 17 games in 2022 after joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent,” Randall wrote. “But his playing time plummeted in 2023 and the Cowboys now have better depth at tight end. He’s a clear release candidate.”

Hendershot appeared in just eight games in 2023, catching four passes for 38 yards. As it stands, Hendershot is fourth on the depth chart behind Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and John Stephens Jr. He will really have to impress during camp and preseason play if he wants to earn a roster spot.
