Cowboys Sign Defensive Tackle Solomon Thomas to Two-Year Deal

The Dallas Cowboys bolster their defensive line by bringing in local talent Solomon Thomas on a contract worth up to $8 million.

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.
