While teams across the NFL are making it rain with big money free agent moves, the Dallas Cowboys continued their trickle up economics to team improvement with the signings of two backups — receiver Tavon Austin and defensive lineman Christian Covington.
Austin got a one-year deal to return to the Cowboys after an injury-riddled season in 2018 following a trade from Los Angeles Rams last April.
Austin caught eight passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He missed nine games with a groin injury.
His biggest impact largely came in the postseason when he had a 51-yard punt return in the wild-card victory against the Seattle Seahawks.
