The Cowboys had two cracks at O.J. Atogwe in the past year -- first as a restricted free agent and just recently as an unrestricted guy, released by the Rams. There was never any substantial interest.
Now the veteran safety is a Washington Redskin, signing a five-year deal just before the original Thursday night deadline for the collective bargaining agreement talks.
Released by the Rams before he was due an $8 million roster bonus, Atogwe visited Washington recently and should provide an immediate upgrade at safety. With Alan Ball and Gerald Sensabaugh eventually heading toward free agency, the Cowboys need one, too.
But it won't be Atogwe. Other names like Bob Sanders, Eric Weddle and Danieal Manning will now be tossed out, as well as the upcoming draft prospects.
But no movement on the Cowboys' front yet.
