The Dallas Cowboys won’t be rewriting their entire kicking game after all. Two of three members of the kicking unit were free agents and the Cowboys released kicker Greg Zuerlein earlier in the offseason. Word had already come out they did not intend to re-sign their punter, who just happened to be one of the best at his position in the league last season. - But with cap space a plenty and no apparent want to spend it on outsiders, Dallas has used that money to turn and bring back second-team All-Pro punter Bryan Anger on a three-year, $9 million deal. While the situation is still unknown at the kicker position, Anger was one of the most consistent Cowboys in 2021 and brings that for three more years. - - Source: The #Cowboys are re-signing punter Bryan Anger, one of their best players last year.

The Dallas offense grew stagnant on multiple occasions during last season and Anger’s play bailed them out by flipping field position regardless of how for the Cowboys were backed up. - Dallas opted for bringing back Anger instead of finding a different talent for cheaper. It’s rare in recent years considering John Fassel’s tendency to sign familiar faces from his days as a Rams coach, but Anger’s value was too much for the Cowboys to let go and now they have him through 2024. - - List - - 2022 free agency: 10 remaining options for Cowboys in Week 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Cowboys Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Cowboys Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
