A steal of a deal for Dallas.
Getty Former Bears DL Brent Urban Interior: bolstered. Fortifying the middle of its front-seven, the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday signed former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Brent Urban to a one-year contract. The deal was announced by Urban’s wife, Kate, via Twitter. The #Cowboys have agreed to terms with defensive linemen Brent Urban to a 1-year deal, per source.

The signing comes hours after the Cowboys added ex-Houston Texans defensive tackle Carlos Watkins, and three days after the team tendered incumbent nose man Antwaun Woods, who’s yet to formally ink the $2.133 million offer. Following a predictably slow start to NFL free agency, which began Monday with the opening of the legal tampering window, Dallas has increased its roster-building activity. In out-of-house moves, the club brought aboard offensive tackle Ty Nsekhe and long snapper Jake McQuaide, the corresponding transactions after losing OT Cameron Erving and opting to move on from age-40 deep snapper L.P. Ladouceur. They also watched starting cornerback Chidobe Awuzie depart amid the frenzy; Awuzie landed a three-year, $21.
