The Dallas Cowboys never have a quiet offseason. This offseason started off with the franchise trading for former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens.<\/p>\n

Now, many are waiting to see what the team will do in regards to Micah Parsons’ future with the franchise.<\/p>\n

However, a Parsons extension may not be the only challenging decision the front office is facing this offseason. The Cowboys may have to make a significant cut when it comes to talent in their secondary.<\/p>\n

Could safety Donovan Wilson be on the chopping block?<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The team could save over $8 million in salary cap space if it were to cut Wilson after June 1. Safety has become a crowded room for the Cowboys, as the team has already signed extensions with Markquese Bell, Juanyeh Thomas, and Israel Mukuamu.<\/p>\n

It feels like Wilson could be the odd man out. According to Pro Football Focus, Wilson was the No. 97-ranked safety in the NFL this past season.<\/p>\n

Wilson finished last season with one interception and allowed 31 receptions, which put him at 26th best among all safeties in that category.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys’ front office continues to tell us that it is hard to make a deal with a talent like Parsons. However, cutting Wilson would be an easy way to find $8 million for that deal. Wilson’s future could be a big story to watch next month.<\/p>\n
