"He was back in time for the start of the 2025 season and got into all 17 games this past year. He didn't have the same pass-rush ability, but he still finished the year with a sack, seven tackles for loss, and four QB hits. He also got into a career-high 474 defensive snaps."
A defensive end is re-signing with the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year contract worth $3 million. The former second-round pick has spent his entire career with Dallas but hasn't fully lived up to draft expectations. He showed promise early, recording 8.5 sacks in his first two years and finishing fifth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2022 with 22 stops, four sacks, and three fumble recoveries. A torn ACL during 2024 training camp ended his season prematurely. Returning for 2025, he appeared in all 17 games, recording one sack, seven tackles for loss, and four QB hits across a career-high 474 defensive snaps. The Cowboys' recent edge acquisitions may limit his starting opportunities.
