FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys added more depth along their offensive line on Friday, as they signed offensive tackle Byron Bell to a one-year deal. Bell gives the Cowboys another veteran option in the offensive line room, as he comes to Dallas with 72 career starts over the past five seasons. Originally undrafted out of New Mexico in 2011, Bell signed with Carolina and quickly established himself as a starter at right tackle.

Sometimes, the best choice is not the first choice. The Cowboys weren’t trying to draft Emmitt Smith in 1990, remember? Their first choice was James Francis, the Baylor linebacker. They just couldn’t deal up in the draft to get him. Instead, they moved around to get Smith. That worked out. You never know.

Byron Bell (born January 17, 1989) is an American football offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He was originally signed by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He played college football at New Mexico.
