According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Solomon Thomas — defensive tackle and former No. 3 overall draft pick from Coppell — has agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth a maximum of $8 million in free agency on Tuesday to join the Cowboys.

New Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus made it clear earlier this offseason that in order to close the gap between them and the Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles, the team needed more talent on their defensive line.

The Dallas Cowboys re-signed standout kick returner KaVontae Turpin on an $18 million, three-year contract Tuesday and are adding free agent defensive tackle Solomon Thomas. Turpin returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns last season on his way to his first All-Pro nod.
