Cowboys coach Jason Garrett wants his rookies to earn their spots on the roster. Garrett won't even allow the team's rookies to wear the team's star decal on the side of their silver helmets until they've earned it. "The star is very important to us," Garrett said. "The star is an international symbol. It's the Dallas football Cowboys. And the players hear me say that a lot. The star means something. "This team has been around 51 years, and it's a great tradition. You have to earn the right to wear that star, and we're very clear with the players about that. Just because you sign with the Dallas Cowboys doesn't mean you earned that thing yet."
