Report: Solomon Thomas agrees to two-year deal with Dallas Cowboys

Former New York Jets DT Solomon Thomas agreed to a two-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Thomas is now going to play in his home town.

“Former Jets DT Solomon Thomas reached agreement today on a two-year deal with a max value of $8 million with the Dallas Cowboys, per source,” Schefter wrote on Twitter. “Dallas is home for Thomas, and now he gets to go back.”

In 16 games last season, Thomas finished with 26 total tackles, five tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two pass deflections, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

A former No. 3 overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers out of Stanford in 2017, Thomas played for San Francisco, the Las Vegas Raiders and spent the last three years with the Jets.

He has 18.5 career sacks. Thomas also logged 212 total tackles in his career and made the postseason with the 49ers in 2019 and Raiders in ’21.

Solomon Thomas latest addition for Cowboys

In addition to the Thomas move, the Cowboys lost DE Chauncey Golston Monday. He signed with the New York Giants.

Golston played the first four years of his pro career in Dallas after being taken in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Iowa. He finished this past season with 56 tackles, 5.5 sacks, one interception and five passes defended, all of which are career highs.

That performance enabled Golston to find a new NFL home and receive a solid pay day in the process. The Giants are coming off of a 3-14 finish this past season and could use all the help they can get, so he should have ample opportunity in front of him.

In college, played four years for the Hawkeyes from 2017-20. He ended his career with 129 tackles, 12 sacks, three interceptions, seven passes defended, three fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
