Darren McFadden and guard Jonathan Cooper.
McFadden will go into his 10th NFL season as a backup to Ezekiel Elliott, who
has the league's leading rushing as a rookie last season. Cooper gives depth on
the offensive line that lost Ron Leary to Denver in free agency.
The Cowboys made the moves Thursday, when running back Lance Dunbar left Dallas
for a free-agent deal with the Los Angeles Rams and cornerback Brandon Carr
signed for a four-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens.
McFadden joined the Cowboys in 2015, when he ran for 1,089 yards. But he played
only three games last season because of a broken elbow suffered in the
offseason. He was the fourth overall pick by the Raiders during the 2008 draft.
Cooper joined Dallas before the playoffs this past season but didn't play in a
divisional loss to Green Bay by the NFC's top seed.
