Cowboys news: Signing of a safety doesn’t preclude Dallas from drafting one

The Cowboys make another move in free agency by signing George Iloka.

Iloka, who turns 29 on March 31, has started 79 of 99 games, including 76 during a six-year span with the Cincinnati Bengals. After his release from the Bengals last year, he joined the Minnesota Vikings and started three of 16 games in 2018.

He recently visited the Oakland Raiders before coming to The Star for a visit on Friday.

For his career, Iloka has nine interceptions, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

The Cowboys use free agency to fill holes, but it shouldn’t change the team’s approach in the draft, which is just collect as many good players as they can.
