The Dallas Cowboys have begun their pursuit of free agent safety Earl Thomas.
Per a source, the team met with Thomas’ agent David Mulugheta on Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine.
It’s no secret that the Cowboys have been interested in Thomas, dating back to last offseason when they initially engaged in trade talks with the Seahawks.
Thomas has long expressed a desire to play for the Cowboys, who grew up a fan in Orange, Texas and played in college at the University of Texas.
That former Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard is the Cowboys secondary coach/passing game coordinator is another tie that binds.
