The Cowboys have a brand new offensive lineman.
Just days before the NFL draft, and a day after the Dallas Cowboys had Tyron Smith announce his retirement, the Cowboys are adding another offensive lineman.
The Cowboys are signing veteran OL Hakeem Adeniji, per source

Hakeem Adeniji joins the Cowboys as a versatile option who can play either guard or tackle. Adeniji, a Texas native, played at Garland High School before going to University of Kansas where he was a 2019 conference All-American in the Big 12.
Adeniji has played in 43 career NFL games and has started 15 of them. He was a sixth-round pick of the Bengals in 2020. He was injured all of last year while on the Browns roster. The Cowboys do need to replenish their offensive line with more depth to challenge guys already on the roster.
Adeniji will have some stiff competition to make the roster but comes with NFL starting experience. The Cowboys are likely to pick up an offensive linemen during the draft, but adding a veteran like Adeniji is good for depth and competition.
