FRISCO, Texas -- With Doug Free set for retirement and not a clear cut choice to play right tackle, the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms with Byron Bell on a one-year deal, according to sources.
Bell, 28, did not play last year with the Tennessee Titans because of a dislocated ankle. He has started 72 of 78 games in his career for the Carolina Panthers and Titans.
The addition of Bell gives the Cowboys options on the offensive line. Free’s retirement had the Cowboys contemplating giving left guard La’el Collins a look at right tackle.
