Breaking: Cowboys new Defensive End makes a Passionate Statement After Signing.

Since the beginning of training camp, the Dallas Cowboys have made changes to their roster. Of course, this applies to almost every NFL team as players are injured, perform poorly, or simply don’t mesh well with the group. But unlike most teams hoping to win the Super Bowl, the Cowboys appear to be pushing hard to bolster their roster through trades or free agent signings.

This is probably because the Cowboys front staff and owner Jerry Jones did not pursue free agency this year with the same zeal. Granted, Dallas’ low spending may have been influenced by the impending contract extensions for Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, and/or Dak Prescott.

Having said that, the Cowboys did sign former Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets pass rusher Carl Lawson as a free agent last week.

Due to a nagging back injury, Lawson only participated in six games during the previous season. Despite having two injury-plagued seasons in a row, the 28-year-old pass rusher feels rejuvenated about joining a Super Bowl-caliber team.

“I honestly feel like a younger player. My potential I honestly feel hasn’t been achieved due to injuries or situations or teams that I’ve been on that just haven’t clicked or had quarterbacks playing, whether they’re hurt or simply been on down offenses. I’ve been a very effective pass rusher in this league, but on losing teams.

“So the opportunity to possibly get on a team that can be up in games and I really can show my ability. And finally just get back and I’m healthy, so I’m excited. “… I’m just humbled and happy to be here and get to work. I’ve been in the game for a long time, but I do feel like a younger player, I just have never been able to put it all together.

“I just want to keep working so that I can use my talent to help an organization win and bring the Super Bowl back to Dallas. I know how talented I am.”
