After a flurry of moves on Tuesday to cut down to 53 players, the Cowboys added two new names on Wednesday via the waiver wire. Thanks to nobody else claiming them before Dallas popped up in the waiver wire order, cornerbacks Trikweze Bridges and Reddy Stewart are now part of America’s Team.
In order to make room for the two new players, the Cowboys released two other cornerbacks, Andrew Booth Jr. and Zion Childress, with the latter expected to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers. Clearly, the Cowboys really wanted both Bridges and Steward, so what are they getting in each of them?
Bridges was a seventh-round pick this year by the Chargers. He came out of Florida, but spent the three previous seasons at Oregon, where the Cowboys’ new wide receivers coach worked at the time.
