The team began shopping free agency, agreeing to terms with defensive tackle Christian Covington.

The Cowboys are adding depth to their defensive line. The club has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with free-agent defensive lineman Christian Covington, a part-time starter in the Texans’ rotation since 2015.

Covington played defensive end in Houston’s 3-4 rotation, but the 300-pounder is likely a better fit at tackle in the Cowboys’ 4-3 scheme.

Covington grew up in Vancouver but played college football at Rice in Houston.
