The Cowboys announced Friday they signed defensive end Lavar Edwards and safety Keelan Johnson to reserve-future contracts.

Edwards appeared in four games with the Cowboys this past season, making one tackle. He was cut three times and re-signed twice before being assigned to the practice squad and landing on injured reserve in December after hurting his groin.

Johnson appeared in two games with Philadelphia in 2013 before he was released last August. On Friday, the Associated Press reported he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault stemming from a July 2014 incident involving a Tempe, Ariz., police officer. Johnson, 25, is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 25.

Sounds like he was dumb while intoxicated.

Court documents said Keelan Johnson was standing in front of Zuma Grill just after 2 a.m. after an acquaintance was involved in a bar fight. Johnson was allegedly shouting over officers, who were detaining the acquaintance.

Johnson was told to step back multiple times and was given a "directional contact" to the chest. Johnson then allegedly shoved an officer. A brief scuffle followed, in which Johnson refused to lower his arms for arrest.

Johnson waived his Miranda rights and informed police he shoved the officer because he felt the officer didn't have a right to order him around and physically attempt to move him.

Johnson appeared to be intoxicated at the time. He was charged with assaulting a police officer, passively resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Ouch -- calling a shove an aggravated assault seems a bit harsh but I suspect even touching them is serious.

RKG?

You think that makes him a bad guy?

Not necessarily.

I just figured somebody here would post about a RKG, so I decided to get it out of the way early in the thread.

He is a RKG if he shoves the deflated ball somewhere in...well you know what I mean....
