Summary

The Dallas Cowboys have officially signed linebacker Curtis Robinson and wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, both formerly of the San Francisco 49ers, as part of their offseason roster moves. Robinson, who spent most of his career with the 49ers, stepped into a significant defensive role due to injuries last season, while Valdes-Scantling joined Dallas after a brief stint with San Francisco last season and a mid-season return to Pittsburgh. Both players aim to secure permanent spots on the Cowboys' roster this summer. Their additions come amid the Cowboys focusing on building depth after a quieter offseason for San Francisco following the draft.
