The Dallas Cowboys made a couple transactions Wednesday, signing kicker/ punter Brett Maher and waiving wide receiver Brian Brown.
Maher gives the Cowboys depth at kicker/ punter, essentially ensuring kicker Dan Bailey and punter Chris Jones won’t be overworked in the off-season and training camp.
Maher, 28, spent the past four seasons with Ottawa and Hamilton in the Canadian Football League. He connected on 78.1 percent of his field goal attempts and also averaged 45.8 yards on 368 career punts.
Maher, who kicked in college at Nebraska, spent part of camp with the Cowboys in 2013.
