The Cowboys are adding veteran defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard, according to reports.
Bullard has agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5MM.
Bullard’s NFL Career
A third-round pick of the Bears in 2016, the 32-year-old Bullard is joining his seventh team ahead of his 11th NFL season. Bullard, also a former Cardinal, Seahawk, Falcon, Viking and Saint, has appeared in 131 games and logged 59 starts.
Reunion in Dallas
In signing with Dallas, Bullard will reunite with defensive line coach Marcus Dixon. The two were together in Minnesota in 2024, the lone 17-start season of Bullard’s career. Bullard posted 41 tackles and a sack that year, the last of his three seasons with the Vikings.
Bullard’s 2025 Season
The 6-foot-3, 290-pounder inked a one-year deal with New Orleans last July and went on to play 15 games (six starts) in 2025. Bullard played just 29.73% defensive snaps and made 26 tackles. Pro Football Focus rated his play a useful 62nd among 127 qualified interior defenders.
