Cowboys sign Martez Wilson
 

The Saints spent the offseason picking up former Cowboys to help flesh out a new defense.

Now the Cowboys are returning the favor.

According to Carlos Mendez of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have signed linebacker Martez Wilson, with hopes he can play some defensive end.

The former third-round pick of the Saints out of Illinois was cut after four games this year. An elbow injury in training camp set him back, and he never delivered on his pass-rush potential with the Saints. He spent three weeks with the Raiders but was released again last week.

The Cowboys cut defensive tackle Everett Dawkins to make room for him on the roster.

Dallas must really be hurting on defense

Re: Cowboys sign Martez Wilson
 

Pretty sure they signed him, then released him shortly thereafter...

No, they are just delusional.

He wasn't smart enough for the Raiders. If he can't make the Cowboys ... :dunce:

Re: Cowboys sign Martez Wilson
 

I still think Wilson would make an ILB,

Re: Cowboys sign Martez Wilson
 

Apparently he didn't have the football IQ, you can't blame it on injuries because he had numerous opportunities with us and could never find a niche

Re: Cowboys sign Martez Wilson
 

ILB is what i think also but the nfl seems to know best yeah right

good luck to him

Martez Wilson Lands in Dallas
 

It was just a short while ago that Martez Wilson was ready to crank it up, and be a huge force in the Saints defensive scheme under Rob Ryan.

Wilson opened as the team’s starting strong-side outside linebacker in training camp, with expectations that he could be the next Anthony Spencer. However, Wilson struggled with an elbow injury, and was fairly absent on the stat sheet for the Saints. However, the 3rd Round (#72 Overall) 2011 Draft Pick from Illinois was released on October 22nd.

After the Raiders claimed him off of Waivers the next day, he would only see action in three games, but produce nothing on the stat sheet. So, Wilson was waived on November 19th.

Wilson found a home with the Dallas Cowboys today, signing a two-year contract after a Tuesday workout. Wilson will reportedly play defensive end for the Cowboys, and is immediately on the active roster.

For Wilson, it’s been a downward struggle, as Saints fans were really shocked to see him go in the first place. He was a fan favorite, and one of those players we were all just waiting for to explode. Sadly, his time was cut short, and it never happened.

Arguably, this may be Wilson’s last opportunity, so we only hope the best for him.

Great Athlete! But he can't find out what to do with his skills, even the magic of Rob Ryan could help him. Best of luck Wilson.
