Well, the Cowboys finally did it: they signed an external free agent, becoming the final team to do so this free agency cycle. The Cowboys agreed to a one-year deal with veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks, a move that many expected two weeks ago when the Chargers released him.
But it was the way that Kendricks found his way to Dallas that made an otherwise unremarkable signing feel so patently Cowboys. Earlier on Wednesday, reports came out that Kendricks was signing with the 49ers. That move would reunite him with former Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, who now holds a senior position on the 49ers staff.
