The Cowboys added to their secondary on Friday night by signing cornerback Nolan Carroll to a three-year deal, worth $10 million. Carroll had been a starter for the Philadelphia Eagles and was almost signed by the Cowboys in the 2016 offseason. The Cowboys have two free agent cornerbacks in Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr who are still unsigned, and they have two players who have started for them at cornerback under contract in Orlando Scandrick and Anthony Brown.
The signing of Carroll provides insurance for the Cowboys and opens up options.
