Overview

  • Solomon Thomas, a former New York Jets defensive tackle, has agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys.
  • Thomas, the third overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has 18.5 career sacks across 115 games with the 49ers, Raiders, and Jets.
  • This signing reunites Thomas with former Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton, now part of the Cowboys' coaching staff.
  • The Cowboys are addressing a thin interior defensive line, with Osa Odighizuwa and Mazi Smith being the only experienced players in that position on the roster.
  • Thomas, a Texas native, returns home to play for the Cowboys, bringing veteran experience and depth to their defensive lineup.
