The 53-man roster cut deadline is coming at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 25, so the team will be forced to decide who's in and who's out over the course of the next day.

Looking over the roster, here's a collection of players who, for various reasons, could be traded away from Dallas over the next few days."
