Thompson has been on the Cowboys roster for the last two seasons. In 2019, he registered 45 tackles (three for loss), three passes breakups, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in four starts. He also had 223 snaps on special teams.
Yes, alright day 1 signings we resigned Collins? No! We resigned Quinn? Ahhh, no! COBB? NO!!Get a blockbuster SIGNING at all? Ahh, NO. Just the predicted Prescott and cooper circus.yeees. oh and don’t forget that amazing special teams player though we couldn’t live without. Desperate need here.
Please, all for SIGNING players to reup on a line but there were more pressing players the cowboys should have taking care of day 1 that they let slip away.
Hey but we at least kept Thompson around.
