Cowboys Sign 11 Undrafted Free Agents

Posted on the 29 April 2013 by Jobsanger
The draft is over, and the Cowboys did get seven players -- who will hopefully contribute to making the team better. But they didn't stop there. Immediately after the draft ended the Cowboys got on the phone searching for undrafted players who might help the team. They have signed 11 of those undrafted free agents.
Of course, the chances of those free agents making the team is pretty slim. But the Cowboys are better than most teams at finding a few really good players from the players not drafted. Good examples of this on the current squad are Tony Romo (quarterback) and Miles Austin (wide receiver), both of whom the Cowboys signed to a free agent contract after the draft had ended. So maybe a player or two will make the squad from the eleven free agents signed this year. Here are the players they signed:
Jakar Hamilton (safety)
South Carolina State
Dalton Williams (quarterback)
Akron
Brandon Magee (linebacker)
Arizona State
Kendial Lawrence (running back)
Missouri
Devin Smith (cornerback)
Wisconsin
Dustin Harris (cornerback)
Texas A&M
Cameron Lawrence (linebacker)
Mississippi State
Greg Herd (wide receiver)
Eastern Washington
Paul Freedman (fullback/tight end)
Virginia
Taylor Reed (linebacker)
SMU
Jeff Heath (defensive back)
Saginaw Valley State
Now it will be interesting to see if any of these players (or the drafted players) make it through training camp and on to the season roster.
