The Dallas Cowboys are signing former New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson, a source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
Lawson is the Cowboys' second addition along the defensive line in the past two days, after they traded with the New York Giants for defensive tackle Jordan Phillips on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old Lawson had been trumpeted as a major addition for the Jets in 2021, when he signed a three-year, $45 million contract in free agency, but he fell short of expectations and wound up playing only 23 games in three seasons.
