Dallas Cowboys make it very clear how they feel about fan favorite rookie after latest roster decision

The Dallas Cowboys chose to elevate tight end James Mitchell from the practice squad rather than rookie Michael Trigg ahead of their Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals. With Luke Schoonmaker sidelined by a groin injury, the team opted for Mitchell's NFL experience over Trigg, an undrafted rookie who gained popularity during training camp.

Writer Mauricio Rodriguez argues the decision signals the Cowboys view Trigg as a developmental prospect who is not yet gameday-ready. Trigg received a $280,000 guarantee as an undrafted free agent, but the team favored Mitchell due to his blocking and special teams background.
