Cowboys sign veteran backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert

[Doomsday101]

With Dak Prescott roughly 24 hours removed from surgery to repair his severely injured right ankle, the Dallas Cowboys are in the process of rebuilding their quarterback room. On Monday night, the Cowboys signed veteran quarterback Garrett Gilbert off the Browns' practice squad, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Cowboys' quarterback room now consists of Gilbert, primary backup Ben DiNucci and starter Andy Dalton.

A sixth-round pick in the 2014 draft, the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Gilbert has attempted six passes in six career regular season games. A Texas native, Gilbert started his college career at Texas, where he famously replaced inured starter Colt McCoy during the Longhorns' loss to Alabama in the 2009 National Championship Game. Gilbert, who finished his college career at SMU, was the Rams' sixth-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

I like the signing. A vet QB with size. Hopefully we don't get to see him play.

I feel like Gilbert played in AAF or something and was pretty decent, maybe I'm wrong. I don't love the signing or anything but it serves it's purpose. I figured we'd bring Clayton Thorson back and this is a similar move.
