With the Cowboys needing help on the defensive side of the ball, with the season ending injury to Jason Ferguson, they went out and nabbed a “tank” to help out later on in the season.
The Dallas Cowboys signed suspended defensive tackle Terry “Tank” Johnson to a two year deal. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
According to both head coach QB Wade Phillips and owner QB Jerry Jones, the Cowboys were already doing the research on Johnson. This was something they were already looking into and it was not something done to fill a need.
Steven’s take:
I do not like this signing at all. Do I believe in giving people a second chance? Yes.
However, I believe Tank Johnson was already given a 2nd and even a 3rd chance in Chicago. I am not sure he has learned anything from his past mistakes. I certainly hope he proves me wrong and he stays out of trouble. Right now, the Cowboys are on a roll and the last thing they need are distractions.
