Two years and a microfracture surgery on his knee removed from his best season in the NFL, Spencer found himself testing the free-agent waters this offseason, looking for a spot other than the one he occupied in Dallas for eight seasons.
He chose to return to the defense that made him a star.
“I like the defense that he plays,” Spencer said. “I felt like it put me in the best position to be who I am, to be the kind of player I am.”
