The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly using the UFL as their unofficial farm system, with recent signings of former UFL players. Among these signings are linebacker Willie Harvey Jr. from the St. Louis Battlehawks and defensive back Gareon Conley from the DC Defenders. In addition, the Cowboys worked out four more former UFL players on Tuesday, including Jonathan Garvin, Derick Roberson, John Lovett, and Wyatt Ray – the grandson of jazz music legend Nat King Cole.
Each of these players has NFL experience in addition to their time in the UFL. Garvin played with the Packers, Roberson with the Titans and Texans, Lovett won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs, and Ray has played for several teams, including the Titans and Bengals. With their experience and skills, these players could add depth to the Cowboys’ defensive end positions.
Currently, the Cowboys’ depth chart at defensive end includes DeMarcus Lawrence, Micah Parsons, Sam Williams, and rookie Marshawn Kneeland. By adding more experienced players like those from the UFL, the Cowboys are likely looking to strengthen their roster and enhance competition within the team. With these new signings, the Cowboys are making strategic moves to improve their defense and overall team performance.
