Former Sooners’ defensive tackle Gerald McCoy agreed to a three-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. The deal is pending a physical.
After three years with the Sooners that included 14.5 sacks, McCoy has played 10 seasons in the NFL. After being drafted third in the 2010 draft, McCoy played nine years with the Buccaneers, totaling 54.5 sacks and earning Pro Bowl status six times.

In his lone season with the Panthers, he finished with five sacks and 15 solo tackles. He signed a one-year, $10.25 million deal one year ago with Carolina.
Now with Dallas, McCoy will be closer to his hometown of Oklahoma City. On March 13, his son Marcellus Crutchfield followed in his father’s footsteps and committed to play for the Sooners.
McCoy joins Demarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, Maliek Collins, and Antwaun Woods on the Cowboys’ defensive front. The loss of Byron Jones in Dallas’ secondary and a few others over the course of NFL free agency, the Cowboys’ will look to bolster their roster with the upcoming NFL draft.
