Raiders Rumors: Ex-Cowboys DE Kony Ealy to Sign Contract with Oakland

Kony Ealy will get a shot with a fifth NFL franchise, as the defensive end agreed to a contract with the Oakland Raiders.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the news. Ealy's signing comes after the team released veteran Bruce Irvin.

The 26-year-old was released by the Dallas Cowboys during 53-man cuts. He spent the 2017 season with the New York Jets, recording 14 tackles and a sack in 15 games played.

The 2014 second-round pick previously played for the Carolina Panthers and was on the New England Patriots until being cut last August.
