The Dallas Cowboys have cut tight end Ray Hamilton and have signed tight end Brandon Barden, per ESPN's Todd Archer.

Hamilton, the former Iowa Hawkeye, was signed as an undrafted free agent in May. The Cowboys were hoping that his 6-4, 252-pound size would help him perform as a blocker.

Barden is a 6-5, 246-pound tight end from Vanderbilt University. He went undrafted in 2012 and first signed with the Titans. Barden played for the Jaguars in 2013 and spent time on the Chiefs practice squad in 2014. He's played in three NFL games, but hasn't accumulated any stats.

It seems like very unlikely for Barden to make the final roster, but there's still a possibility. The Cowboys have Jason Witten, Gavin Escobar, James Hanna, and Geoff Swaim ahead of him.
