Report: Cowboys interested in signing three-time Pro Bowler
The Dallas Cowboys are looking for ways to bolster their pass rush after they lost Randy Gregory, and Jason Pierre-Paul could be one option.
The Cowboys signed former first-round pick Dante Fowler Jr. this week, but ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that they are still in the market for veteran pass-rushers. They have also expressed interest in Pierre-Paul.
Pierre-Paul spent the last four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had only 2.5 sacks in 12 games last year, but he revealed after the season that he played through a painful rotator cuff injury. The 33-year-old had 9.5 sacks in 2020 and was named to his third Pro Bowl.
The Cowboys were on the verge of re-signing Gregory, but his agent claims the team tried to pull a shady move at the last second. Dallas has been left with a significant void on its defensive front as a result.
