The NFL announced they’ve reinstated Aldon Smith, giving the Dallas Cowboys hope for having a competent pass rusher opposite DeMarcus Lawrence.
Last season, the sack leader for the Dallas Cowboys was Robert Quinn. The Cowboys traded a 2020 sixth-round draft pick to acquire the veteran defensive end from the Miami Dolphins last year. And that move paid off to the tune of 11.5 sacks in 2019.
Unfortunately, Quinn’s resurgent season in Dallas leads him to leave the team as a free agent this offseason.
