The Dallas Cowboys are considering signing free-agent linebacker Justin Durant, reports NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Durant previously played for the Cowboys during the 2013 and ’14 seasons.
The Cowboys are in need of a linebacker after Rolando McClain was suspended 10 games for substance abuse.
Durant, 30, has spent nine seasons in the NFL. The linebacker was the second-round draft pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2007. He spent four seasons in Jacksonville before playing for the Detroit Lions, Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons, respectively.
