After attacking the first week of free agency at a snail's pace -- where the team signed just one outside free agent, Christian Covington -- the Dallas Cowboys have kicked it up a notch to start Week 2 of free agency, hosting two free agent visits Monday (Randall Cobb and Clayton Geathers) and signing former Lions defensive lineman Kerry Hyder.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 270 pounds, Hyder had a breakout 2016 season for the Detroit Lions, where he recorded eight sacks. He failed to replicate that production in subsequent years on account of a torn Achilles, which wiped out his 2017 season, and an unfortunate scheme change in Detroit, which rendered him ineffective and only active for seven games in 2018.
