The Dallas Cowboys signed three players as the team continues to look for ways to add depth on defense. Dallas announced the signing of linebacker Darius Harris, defensive tackle Albert Huggins and linebacker Nick Vigil.
The Cowboys also released linebacker Byron Vaughns and placed Sam Williams on the Reserves/Injured list. CeeDee Lamb was placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report list which opens up a roster spot while the superstar continues his holdout. These roster moves come days after the Cowboys also signed a pair of pass rushers in Al-Quadin Muhammad and Shaka Toney.
Here’s what you need to know about the newest Cowboys.
Vigil has started 53 games over his NFL career. The defender spent his first four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, starting his final three years with the team. Most recently, Vigil played eight games last season for the Minnesota Vikings.
Vigil’s best NFL season came in 2019 when the linebacker posted 111 tackles, 5 pass deflections, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 interception in 16 starts. The Cowboys also turned to another AFC contender to snag one of the team’s former players.
Harris spent his first four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. The linebacker played in five games for the Chiefs last season after appearing in all 17 contests (including four starts) in 2022. Harris is a two-time Super Bowl champion from his four seasons in Kansas City.
