Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports The Dallas Cowboys are signing former New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson, ESPN reported Thursday.
The 29-year-old pass rusher worked out for the Cowboys in Oxnard, Calif., after they lost Sam Williams to a torn ACL earlier in training camp.
Lawson signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Jets in free agency in 2021 but missed that entire season with a torn Achilles tendon.
He started all 17 games in 2022 and registered seven sacks and 24 quarterback hits, but was limited to six games (no starts) last season after falling out of the rotation and dealing with a back injury. He finished with no sacks and five tackles.
A fourth-round pick by Cincinnati in 2017, Lawson has 27 sacks, 107 QB hits and 119 tackles in 74 career games (31 starts) with the Bengals (2017-20) and Jets (2022-23).
Lawson's arrival is the second move by Dallas on the defensive line this week. The Cowboys acquired defensive tackle Jordan Phillips in a trade with the New York Giants on Wednesday.
