The Dallas Cowboys have signed undrafted free agent Tommy Dunn from Kansas as they prepare for training camp. Dunn, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 305 pounds, is expected to contribute as both a run stuffer and part-time pass rusher. The Cowboys did not select a typical big-bodied defensive tackle in the draft and instead brought in veteran Otito Ogbonnia for rotation at the nose tackle position. With various new signings instead of a prototypical tackle, how the defensive depth chart will shape up remains uncertain prior to the initial roster cuts in August.
