The Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFL teams were required to cut their roster from 85 to 80 players as we inch closer to the final 53-man roster. Here are the latest five roster cuts for the Cowboys.
According to Michael Gehlken, the Cowboys are waiving K Lirim Hajrullahu on Tuesday. He had been competing for Dallas’ starting kicker job but the team is electing to go with Brett Maher for now. Dallas also waived LB Christian Sam, TE Jeremy Sprinkle, WR Jaquarii Roberson and CB Quandre Mosely, per Todd Archer.
The Dallas Cowboys probably deserve credit for recognizing a problem and working quickly to fix it. So ... is it fixed? The Cowboys are signing kicker Brett Maher following his Tuesday workout at the team's training camp in Oxnard.
In the training camp battle between kickers Jonathan Garibay and Lirim Hajrullahu, the Cowboys are starting to look like the losers. With both candidates struggling in Oxnard, Dallas is bringing in several kickers today for a workout and possible new options.
Struggles from both Lirim Hajrullahu and Jonathan Garibay will bring the Cowboys to work out some replacement options.
The Cowboys have a kicking problem through the first two weeks of training camp. Rookie Jonathan Garibay and Lirim Hajrullahu are competing for the starting role, but neither has been convincing.
The Cowboys kicker situation is getting worse, not better. If you’ve been following Cowboys training camp at all through the first two weeks, you’ve probably heard talks about the kicking situation.
Roster battles don’t get decided in a day during training camp. But a decision is eventually made based on the evidence provided, and yesterday veteran Lirim Hajrullahu took an early lead over Jonathan Garibay in the race to be the Dallas Cowboys’ kicker in 2022.
Lirim Hajrullahu is officially under contract with the Dallas Cowboys as of Friday. And as of the start of training camp on July 26 in Oxnard? The Cowboys have themselves an official kicker competition.
Kicker Lirim Hajrullahu has agreed to sign with the Dallas Cowboys and will compete with undrafted rookie Jonathan Gariby for the starting job. Hajrullahu played with Dallas for one game in the 2021-22 season after starting kicker Greg Zuerlein tested positive for COVID-19.
After the Cowboys released Chris Naggar on May 13, it left undrafted free agent Jonathan Garibay as the only kicker on their roster. With no competition, it seemed inevitable that Garibay would be Dallas’ week one kicker.
According to Tom Pelissero, the Cowboys signed K Lirim Hajrullahu to a contract on Friday. Hajrullahu, 32, has kicked and punted in the CFL since 2014, including stints with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts, and Hamilton Tiger-Cats Hajrullahu worked out for the Seahawks in January of 2020 but ultimately returned to the CFL.
There shall be no kicker carousel for the Carolina Panthers in 2022 . . . or at least they won’t intend on having one. In case the two-year extension for Zane Gonzalez wasn’t a hint enough already, the Panthers have eyes for just one place kicker as we head into the upcoming campaign.
The Panthers are down to one kicker on their 90-man offseason roster. The team announced that they have placed Lirim Hajrullahu on waivers Wednesday. The move opens a spot for one of the 13 undrafted rookies the Panthers signed after the draft came to an end last weekend.
Wait, so you mean the Carolina Panthers won’t finish the season with Brandon Zylstra on kickoff duties while keeping their offense on the field for fourth downs and two-point conversions?
For a guy whose job can be measured in threes, Lirim Hajrullahu is hoping the third time’s a charm in Dallas. The Kosovo-born kicker is being signed by the Cowboys, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
The veteran kicker's rope just got a little bit shorter in Dallas
The Cowboys’ decision-makers maintain that they have confidence in kicker Greg Zuerlein. But that doesn’t mean they won’t hedge their bets, too. The team is reportedly re-signing Lirim Hajrullahu to the practice squad after Zuerlein went 3-for-5 in Week 1 field goals, including a missed PAT in the 31-29 loss to Tampa Bay.
The cutdown to 80 players on rosters across the NFL was finalized today, and it took just one move for the Dallas Cowboys to do so. Kicker Lirim Hajrullaha, who was signed last week, has been waived.
