The Cowboys met with George Iloka, but there is no deal to report.

The Dallas Cowboys brought in free agent safety George Iloka for a visit on Friday, the third safety they have met with over the free agency period. Clayton Geathers re-signed with his former team, the Indianapolis Colts, and Eric Berry came and left without a deal. That holds true for Iloka as no agreement was reached today.


George Iloka has completed his visit with the Cowboys & nothing further is expected today, a source said. Iloka is the 3rd safety to visit The Star & leave without a contract. Eric Berry & Clayton Geathers, who then re-signed with Indianapolis, were the others.
