Gotta admit I'd never heard of the guy until the Cowboys sent out this press release:
The Dallas Cowboys signed free agent defensive tackle Jonas Seawright today. Seawright was last active in 2006 with the New York Giants, where he played in nine games and recorded one tackle. He was released by the Giants on September 2, 2007 and has remained out of football. He originally signed with the Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent on May 9, 2005 out of North Carolina. He spent his entire rookie season on the club's practice squad.​

LOL It had to happen

The run-in New York Giants defensive tackle Jonas Seawright had with offensive lineman Shaun O'Hara last Thursday – when the two exchanged punches – apparently isn't anything new. Players have remarked privately that Seawright has been extremely physical in practices this offseason since being promoted to the first team. And while coach Tom Coughlin admonished Seawright about his dust-up with O'Hara, coaches are said to be very happy with his development.

Giants Si gn DT Jonas Seawright
6-6, 312-pounder made most of tryout with Big Blue.
By Michael Eisen, Giants.com

May 9, 2005
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today announced the signing of defensive tackle Jonas Seawright, who was one of 12 rookie free agents to receive a tryout at the team’s mini-camp this past weekend.
Seawright, a 6-foot-6, 312-pounder, was a captain on the University of North Carolina football team in 2004, when he started every game and finished with 29 tackles (13 solo). He also knocked down two passes and blocked a 22-yard field goal against Boston College in the Continental Tire Bowl.
In 2003, Seawright played in 12 games with six starts. He had 10 tackles and blocked three kicks – extra points against Florida State and Arizona State and a field goal attempt versus Wake Forest.
Seawright started his sophomore season in 2002 on the offensive line, but switched to defense early in the year, He finished with seven tackles, including three against Duke. Seawright redshirted in 2 000 and played in two games in 2001.
At Wilkinson High School in Orangeburg, S.C. Seawright was selected all-state after a senior season in which he had 195 tackles (70 solo), 11 sacks and 22 tackles for losses. He had 175 tackles and five sacks as a junior.
Seawright was born on April 12, 1982 in Orangeburg.


Seawright Hopes to Be Man on the Inside
Young DT hopes to earn starting nose tackle spot.
By Aron Angel, Giants.com
June 19, 2006
East Rutherford, NJ - With defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy’s free agency departure to Arizona, the Giants have an opening at nose tackle this season. Giants coaches have indicated that the position is wide open. And with a handful of unproven youngsters in the mix, it should pro ve to be an interesting battle among this group of relative unknowns.
“You never know how the cards are going to fall,” said defensive line coach Mike Waufle. “The best players play, so we’ll see. The good news is that we have some players that have some abilities and are going to be able to fit into those positions.”
Defensive Coordinator Tim Lewis was quick to remind reporters that Clancy was a wild card before last season.
“[Clancy] was unproven too,” Lewis said last week, when the assistant coaches were available to the media. “You guys had no idea who he was before last year.”
Enter Jonas Seawright, a 6-4, 340-pound defensive tackle who spent last season on the team’s practice squad. This year, with a defensive tackle position up for grabs, it’s up to Seawright to separate himself from the rest of the pack and earn a roster spot.
“May the best man win,” said Seawright, who joined the team in 2005 as an undrafted free agent from North Carolina.

he's to tall for NT.

i read reports where he is anywhere from 6-4 to 6-6, but i did read where he was about 340 at one time;

and i did hear that some dallas media writer write up about this guy awhile back and he said he would be a good pickup for the cowboys;

im thinking also the cowboys will pump him for information on the giants too

if he's 340 that's good news. we need some more weight on the d-line. he has very little info on the g-men.

Looks like it's an all-comers audition for backup NT ..

Remember we signed Tim Anderson and Casey Tyler in the last few weeks too.

Or should I say, the above two got some kind of make-good contract through the minicamp anyway.

did we cut anyone when we picked him up?

Before we signed him we had 81 players (counting the 12 draft picks) plus we are supposed to save a spot on the 80-man roster for Irvin's show's winner.
