The Dallas Cowboys have re-signed another internal free agent, as the first wave of NFL free agency starts to wind down. On Friday morning, the team announced that versatile tight end Princeton Fant will be returning to the Cowboys for his fourth year.

Details of Fant's new deal have not been announced.

After signing with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2023, the 27-year-old Fant has spent the past season on the Cowboys' practice squad. Fant has appeared in 11 games throughout his time with the team.

While he has not had a featured role with the team, Fant is often praised by the coaching staff for his ability to line up at multiple positions and serve as a Swiss Army knife for the team.

Fant rejoins a loaded tight end room in Dallas, which also includes two-time Pro Bowler Jake Ferguson, former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker, and promising third-year tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford.

He is the third internal free agent that the Cowboys have re-signed this offseason, while All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey and offensive lineman TJ Bass were placed on a second-round tender, and breakout star wide receiver George Pickens was placed on the franchise tag.
