Former OU star Gerald McCoy on joining the Dallas Cowboys: ‘We have the pieces to win’

After watching six starters, including four on defense, leave via free agency, the Dallas Cowboys struck back with a three-year, $20 million deal with veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.

The deal will not be complete until McCoy passes a physical and that is on hold due to the Covid-19 precautions.

But the move will allow the Cowboys to boost a shorthanded defense with a 10-year veteran and proven playmaker.

The former Southeast High School and OU star confirmed the deal with ESPN’s Josina Anderson and expressed excitement about coming to the Cowboys, a team he followed a kid growing up in Oklahoma City.
