The Cowboys are releasing defensive end Lavar Edwards to make room for new offensive tackle Tony Hills, according to Charean Williams of the Star-Telegram (on Twitter).
Hills, 29, has appeared in ten NFL games dating back to 2010. He hooked on with the Dolphins’ taxi squad in September after he failed to make the final roster cut. Now, he’ll get an opportunity to stick on a 53-man roster.
Edwards was waived by Dallas in September to make room for linebacker Keith Smith but was promptly re-signed three days later when Smith was cut. The 6’4″, 277 pound defensive end spent last season with the Titans where he appeared in seven games with one start.
