FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a one-year deal with guard Jonathan Cooper, according to a source, which will allow them some flexibility on their offensive line with the departure of Ronald Leary and the impending retirement of Doug Free.
With Cooper as insurance, the Cowboys could move La'el Collins, who has started 14 games in his first two seasons at left guard, to right tackle to replace Free. The Cowboys worked Collins, who joined them as an undrafted free agent with a fully guaranteed deal in 2015, at right tackle briefly but felt his best position was ultimately at guard.
