Hot News: “I’m thrilled.” Big free agent signing for the Dallas Cowboys says he is happy to be back together….
The Dallas Cowboys, after weeks of inactivity, managed to steal the veteran linebacker away from the San Francisco 49ers.
The former First-Team All-Pro had verbally agreed to a deal with the 49ers but was lured away by America’s Team
Moreover, the Cowboys added a much-needed body to their linebacker room. The franchise dealt with key injuries to Leighton Vander Esch and DeMarvion Overshown in 2023, with the former announcing his early retirement in 2023.
Kendricks links up with his old head coach at the Minnesota Vikings, Mike Zimmer, who drafted and nurtured the rookie out of UCLA.
Zimmer was brought in to replace Dan Quinn who agreed to terms on a deal with the Washington Commanders to get another shot at the top job.
Quinn had no hesitation in stealing Cowboys’ free agents Tyler Biadasz and Dorance Armstrong to kick off his tenure at their NFC East rival.
Kendricks brings with him 1,036 tackles of experience to the Cowboys’ defensive side of the ball and he will be a leader within the confines of the locker room.
Zimmer has a familiar face that he can turn to and ask to be his voice within the huddle.
