Dallas Cowboys guard Ronald Leary has requested a trade, reports Gil Brandt of NFL.com.
Leary did not attend the first day of Cowboys OTA off-season workouts, which began Tuesday.
The 27-year-old is expected to be a backup this season after losing his starting job to La’el Collins four games into the 2015 season. Leary was a starter for the 2013 and 2014 seasons, playing in 31 games.
He signed a one-year, $2.553 million restricted free-agent tender in April with the hopes of being traded during the draft.
Leary was signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis in 2012.

The Cowboys received some interest in Leary during the draft, but didn’t see an offer compelling enough to complete a trade.
