Cowboys, Sean Lissemore sign new deal

[Midswat]

IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys have reached a three-year extension with defensive end Sean Lissemore.

Lissemore, a seventh-round pick in 2010, was under contract through 2013 as part of his rookie deal but is now signed through 2016.

While he has yet to start a game in his two-plus seasons with the Cowboys, Lissemore has become one of their top substitutes and the coaches view him as a future starter. He was credited with two tackles in the season-opening win at the New York Giants, playing end and nose tackle.

He played in every game last year and had 39 tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss and five quarterback hurries.

Good signing. Lock them up while they're young. If they don't pan out then they are easily discardable.

I likes.

This is a move that a smart front office would make.

Good job, Dallas.

Very Philadelphia Eagles like, except for the part of extending Ratliff.

This is how they should have signed Free.

This is how they should have signed Free.

True that my brotha from anotha motha.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

They practically gave him the same deal as Hatcher... from what I've heard.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

This is the type of signing that we clamor for every offseason. Mid-level.

Except this one has loads of potential that comes along with the very manageable salary.

What does that say about Rob Ryan's future though? He going to be here awhile? Thoughts...
