Solomon Thomas played high school ball just outside Dallas. Now the former No. 3 overall draft pick comes home to reunite with his NYJ position coach.

New Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus made it clear earlier this offseason that in order to close the gap between them and the Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles, the team needed more talent on their defensive line.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive end Solomon Thomas according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Thomas, the No. 3 pick in the 2017 NFL draft, agreed to a two-year deal with Dallas worth up to $8 million.
