The Cowboys have a new offensive lineman in Rob Jones.
The Dallas Cowboys agreed to terms with not one, but two different external free agents on the first day of legal tampering. This is very unlike them to say the least.
It was running back Javonte Williams who broke the seal on Monday evening, but later as the night wore on offensive lineman Robert Jones joined the party.
Former Dolphins free-agent offensive lineman Rob Jones reached agreement tonight with the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal worth up to $4.75 million. Deal negotiated by Drew Rosenhaus and Shawn O’Dare.

The Cowboys are in a situation where they need some more interior depth along the offensive line with Zack Martin having just retired and Jones can be an option there. From an offensive line standpoint overall, remember that Chuma Edoga left in free agency to the Jacksonville Jaguars (where Jourdan Lewis also went).
All told this is a pretty standard depth move for the Cowboys. It is low risk and decent upside. There is general reason to be pleased, this is what free agency should be used for… filling would-be holes.
We know that the Cowboys are not going to break the bank in free agency. But there are moves to be found that can help the team.
Hopefully this is one of those.
