Wilson was selected by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft, spending the first four seasons of his NFL career in Dallas. He spent part of the 2023 season on Dallas’ practice squad after separate stints with the Chiefs (2019-20), Jaguars (2021) and Panthers (2022).
Wilson didn’t play a game for the Cowboys last season.
The linebacker joins the club with 419 total tackles in his career, combined with nine sacks, nine pass deflections and one interception. Wilson and Eric Kendricks are two veteran additions Dallas made this offseason at the linebacker position.
