Wood, 24, went undrafted out of SMU back in May of last year before signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Cowboys. However, Dallas decided to waive him as they trimmed their roster down to the 53-man limit. and then signed him to a one-year futures deal back in January.
The Cowboys later re-signed him to a one-year futures deal back in January but was waived once again as the team worked down their roster.
