Cowboys are Anger's fourth team.

Butler on a one-year deal, according to NFL Network.

going No. 30 overall. He has eight career sacks and four forced
fumbles.

Deebo Samuel since before the NFL.

--The Cincinnati Bengals waived offensive lineman Fred Johnson
less than an hour after announcing they signed him to a one-year
deal, ESPN reported.
Johnson signed a tender of $2.4 million, meaning any team that
claims him will incur that amount against their salary cap. If
he goes unclaimed, he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Johnson has played in 23 games (eight starts) for the Bengals
since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
