The Cowboys swapped out one down roster cornerback for another Sunday. Former Oakland Raiders first-round pick and most recently of the UFL, Gareon Conley was cut loose from Dallas’ 90-man roster. After being out of the league for a few years, Conley was looking to latch on with the Cowboys for the year.
Apparently not as the former Ohio State Buckeye star was unable to find footing and has reportedly hinted that he may retire from football. Out with the older, in with the newer, apparently. Dallas wasted no time filling the roster hole, putting a waiver claim in on a fomer player, Kemon Hall, most recently of the San Francisco 49ers training camp.
The Cowboys claimed CB Kemon Hall off waivers from San Francisco. He replaces Gareon Conley, who was cut earlier Sunday. Hall was with the Chargers in 2021-22.

Hall spent the last month and a half of the 2023 season on the 49ers practice squad and was rewarded with a futures contract to work with the team through the offseason, but that came to an end on Saturday. Dallas placed a roster claim, which awards a player to teams in draft order (until after the first month of the regular season).
Hall was originally a Chargers UDFA in 2019 before spending time with the Vikings, Saints and Dallas. In December 2020, Hall was added to the Cowboys’ practice squad for the remainder of the season, but failed to capitalize on his Futures contract the following year.
Hall has appeared in 18 career games with 8 combined tackles and a fumble recovery.
