FRISCO, Texas -- After visiting with the team in March, free-agent safety Robert Blanton has signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys lost Barry Church (Jacksonville Jaguars) and J.J. Wilcox (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) in free agency, creating a need at the position, but the addition of Blanton will not alter the Cowboys’ plans in next week’s NFL draft.
Blanton started two of the 10 games he played for the Buffalo Bills in 2016 before a foot injury cut short his season.
