Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign rookie OL D.J. Wingfield

[Risen Star]

The Dallas Cowboys have signed USC OL DJ Wingfield, per his agent @TesslerSports. He signs with the team after a successful rookie minicamp tryout.

Wingfield was unknowingly out of eligibility when he transferred from Purdue to USC in 2025 and lost an appeal with the NCAA.

He started all 12 games in 2024 with Purdue at right guard, allowing three sacks and 21 pressures.

Never bad this time of year to kick the tires and see who we can test out

Cue all the geniuses who thought Overton was a left tackle, lining up to ask why we’ve signed a deejay…

Cowboys always finding little nuggets in wierd places.

SOmetimes they work, other times not.

Player acquisition is a 24/7, 365-days-a-year process, people. Would you get it through your thick skulls? How many times does Stephen Jones have to tell us?

Cowboys!

I'd be a lot more interested in this guy as a flier if he wasn't already like 26.

I don’t care if he’s 19-25-30-35. If he beats the guys he’s competing against for the position, who cares?

HE'LL BE THE NEXT FEEL good story for cheap

He missed a year and not due to injury. oline also go just fine into their thirties.

Thinking about the age of an udfa when he’s able to sign a second contract seems a bit unnecessary

Today he is a potential All Pro. By September...

In which we don't even try to look for better in the off season because we have this cheap option

They are trying to corner the market on DJ's. They have on Tyler's.

Maybe if none of the DJ's workout on the field. They can use them as DJ's for the greek dancing music.

It comes together for some players later than others. The fact that USC wanted him as bad as it did is a good sign.

I'll be surprised if he makes the roster because our depth seems fairly set (Thomas, Bass, Hennessey, Cornelius/Keegan, Shelton), but it's not like some of those players can't be upgraded.

And he would have played longer if not for concussions.

Old prospects don't physically develop so they have very limited ceilings.

This guy maxes out as depth. It's just not that interesting.
