The Dallas Cowboys recently met with and worked out free agent cornerback Brandon Boykin, however no deal was made. The 25-year old defensive back last played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015. He recorded 25 total tackles, five defended passes, 1.0 sacks and one interception in 16 games last season.
Boykin signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason, but was released shortly after. He was a fourth round pick by the Eagles in 2012, where he played until he was traded to Pittsburgh last summer.
The fact that he was released by the Panthers without even going through an offseason program and failed to latch on with the Cowboys shows there may be some truth to his rumored hip injury, one he has continued to deny.
