Typically, when Stephen Jones starts a player’s contract, fans assume that player is out the door. The Dallas Cowboys routinely shops from the bargain bin of free agents and it’s to the point that Stephen Jones has become a meme earning the moniker of “Cap Boy”.
While that does tend to be true, the one thing the Cowboys are good at is keeping the players they really like, and Donovan Wilson is one of those guys. Dan Quinn’s defense requires really good safety play to run efficiently so with Wilson coming off a career year, I’m sure Quinn went to bat for him.
To the surprise of a number of fans the Cowboys worked out a deal to keep the former Texas A&M safety in Dallas for the next few years.
BACK TO THE 'BOYS 🤩
The Cowboys have agreed to re-sign safety @donlwilson6 to a 3-year deal.
