IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have signed restricted free agent defensive end Benson Mayowa to an offer sheet, according to sources, and now have to wait to see if the Oakland Raiders will match.
Mayowa visited the Cowboys' Valley Ranch facility on Friday and had a physical before signing the offer sheet. The Raiders have until midnight ET on Wednesday to match.
Because he was not drafted in 2013, the Cowboys will not owe the Raiders any compensation. Oakland gave Mayowa the right-of-first-refusal tender worth $1.671 million. The Raiders will have the cap space necessary to match the offer so it will come down to whether they want to pay him.
