Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Cowboys have signed free-agent defensive tackle Tank Johnson to a two-year deal.

Johnson currently is serving an eight-game suspension for violation of the Personal Conduct Policy. He has received credit for two of those games, even though he was not on any team's roster. Such an approach is now standard in the NFL, even though it was widely believed in the media that a suspended player had to be on a team in order to serve a suspension.

Johnson served time in prison during the offseason for violation of probation arising from a prior guilty plea. The Bears cut him in June after he was pulled over for suspicion of DUI.

In Dallas, Johnson could play nose tackle or defensive end (or both) in the team's 3-4 defense.


Great move for the cowboys, the Bears shouldnt have let him go..

I heard rumors of this signing over the weekend. Hey, the guy's got talent and he's paid his dues. Why not give him another chance?

I heard rumors of it a while ago too.
Someone else give him a chance. I've had it with those kind of players. We're just getting the team cleaned up and now we are starting all over again????

This is a good signing. Dallas really lacks a pass rush from the line.

Yeah, a good signing if he stays out of trouble. I dont have much faith in that.
