Safety Jayron Kearse is re-signing with the Cowboys on a two-year contract.
Kearse, 28, started 15 of the 16 games he appeared in for the Cowboys last season, playing a key role in their turnaround from the worst defense in team history (473 points allowed) to respectability.
Signed to a one-year deal worth a little more than $1 million, not much was made of Kearse’s addition to the Cowboys’ roster last March. He finished the season as the defense’s leading tackler, with 101.
Safety Jayron Kearse re-signing with Cowboys at two years, $10 million, per source. Can make up to $11 million.
