Overview

  • Reports from Pro Football Newsroom published by Heavy say the Dallas Cowboys have signed cornerback Ameer Speed after his stint with the UFL’s Houston Gamblers.
  • Speed is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound defensive back who played five games for the Gamblers and recorded 14 tackles and five pass breakups.
  • He was a 2023 sixth-round draft pick by the New England Patriots and has had short stints with the Colts, Bears, Browns and Texans.
  • Coverage so far is based on social-post reporting and outlet summaries and does not include official Cowboys transaction details or contract terms.
  • The signing is one of several recent Gamblers-to-NFL moves and reinforces a trend of teams using the UFL as a springboard for roster depth and evaluation.
