Dallas Cowboys sign two players to Reserve/Future contracts on Thursday
After a busy day of news that included the non-renewals of six coaching staff members and the return of defensive coordinator Dan Quinn for 2023, the Dallas Cowboys announced the signings of two more players to Reserve/Future contracts.
The Cowboys signed offensive lineman Isaac Alarcon and tight end Seth Green, which will keep the two around for the 90-man training camp roster.
Alarcon played college football at the Monterrey Institute of Technology. He joined the Cowboys roster initially in 2020 as a part of the league’s International Player Pathway Program.
Green, a 24-year-old out of the University of Houston, joined the Cowboys practice squad in October.
On Wednesday, four more players signed reserve/future contracts. The signees were receivers Antonio Callaway and Dennis Houston, offensive lineman Alex Taylor and safety Tyler Coyle.
All four players spent time on the Cowboys’ practice squad this past season.
Callaway, a fourth-round pick out of Florida in the 2018 NFL Draft, bring the most pro experience of the group. He had his best season as a rookie with the Cleveland Browns, where he totaled 43 catches for 586 yards and five touchdowns. Since then, however, he has appeared in only nine games over the next four seasons.
Houston, Taylor and Coyle each played in at least one game for the Cowboys in 2022. An undrafted rookie out of Western Illinois, Houston caught two passes for 16 yards in the season opener against Tampa Bay. Coyle and Taylor both appeared in the final game of the regular season against Washington, with Coyle recording six tackles.
Cowboys make headway on 2023 roster
According to the NFL’s rules regarding futures contracts, the players the Cowboys signed will not count against the salary cap or roster limit for the current season. However, it does prevent them from negotiating with other teams. When the time comes to sign free agents heading into next season, Dallas will have first priority for these players.
The Cowboys finished this past season with a 12-5 record, earning a trip to the playoffs for the second straight year. Unfortunately, they would go on to lose to San Francisco in the divisional round by a score of 19-12. Dallas has not made it past the divisional round since 1995, the last time it won a Super Bowl.
