The Cowboys have a new defensive tackle in Solomon Thomas.
The Dallas Cowboys are on the board on the second day of legal tampering! Word broke early Tuesday morning that Dallas agreed to terms with defensive tackle Solomon Thomas.
Former Jets DT Solomon Thomas reached agreement today on a two-year deal with a max value of $8 million with the Dallas Cowboys, per source. Dallas is home for Thomas, and now he gets to go back.

Thomas was once the third overall pick of the NFL draft back in 2017, but he has spent the last few years working with the New York Jets. Aaron Whitecotton is the new Cowboys defensive line coach and comes to the team from having just worked with the Jets as well. It stands to reason the connection was of importance, or at least mild significance.
Thomas is the third external free agent who the Cowboys have agreed to terms with at this early point in the process as on Monday they agreed to terms with running back Javonte Williams and offensive lineman Rob Jones.
It sounds hyperbolic, but this is significantly more activity at this point in the game than the Cowboys have shown in the past. No one is getting ahead of themselves, but this is different in an objective sense. We will see what it all yields.
