Former Buckeye Johnnie Dixon Signs With Dallas Cowboys After Tryout

Ten days ago, Johnnie Dixon went to Cleveland for a tryout with the Browns. He left without a contract.

On Friday, Dixon had another NFL tryout, and this time he impressed enough to earn himself a deal. The former Ohio State wide receiver signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys, his agent Jason Bernstein announced on Monday afternoon.

Dixon isn't guaranteed a roster spot, but he will have a chance to prove himself now that he's healthy again.
