Cowboys BREAKING: 'Next Priority' DT Johnathan Hankins Signs
In this story:
The Dallas Cowboys have been looking to check another box on their offseason wishlist of roster moves.
Add a No. 2 wide receiver: Done!
Add a No. 2 cornerback: Done!
Re-sign Jonathan Hankins: Working on it ...and done!
Stopping the run was a struggle for the Cowboys' defense in 2022, and hey somewhat addressed their need at defensive tackle at the trade deadline, acquiring Johnathan Hankins from the Las Vegas Raiders.
Hankins was brought in to anchor down the middle of the Dallas defensive line at nose tackle, and that's what he did, which is why the Cowboys are getting him re-signed on a one-year deal we’re told is “team-friendly.”
No, bringing back Hankins isn't the top-shelf investment from the Cowboys some fans hoped for at nose tackle, but it is another smart move by the front office in an offseason where they've made a lot of those.
The Cowboys want to also sign versatile vet Carlos Watkins.
Hankins locks down the middle of the Cowboys' defensive line and could help Osa Odighizuwa continue to blossom.
