Here is a article from one year ago:

Schofield was selected with the 130th pick in the third round of the 2010
NFL Draft by the
Arizona Cardinals. In his rookie year, due to his recovery, he would only appear in nine games but managed to record two sacks. His first sack was against
Stephen McGee in a Christmas game against the Dallas Cowboys. In Arizona, Schofield played outside-linebacker in their 3-4 scheme. Schofield's second year was better, although he never started, he recorded five sacks and flashed his talent in the 449 snaps he played.
O'Brien would become a starter in the 2012 season for the Cards and record four sacks in nine starts. He hurt his ankle after week nine and missed the remainder of the season. That July, Schofield was cut by the Cardinals and claimed off waivers by the
Seattle Seahawks.
He would appear in 13 games in 2013, but only played in 171 snaps and recorded only one sack against
Cam Newton in his debut. Still, Schofield eanred himself a
Super Bowl ring with Seattle that year. 2014 was a decent year for O'Brien where he returned healthy and played in all of Seattle games both regular and postseason.
Pro Football Focus listed Schofield as the 26th best defensive end, but he graded positively with a
+4.2 for the season and recorded three sacks.
O'Brien Schofield is looking for a bigger role in 2015 and will likely end his tenure in Seattle. Knowing the Cowboys recent trend of trying to find hidden real-estate, Schofield would make a ton of sense for the Cowboys. The Cowboys could use guy like him for their rotation, and Marinelli has worked wonders before. The potential is there, we'll soon see if the Dallas Cowboys bite. Be sure to stay tuned to BTB for all the news regarding the upcoming free agency frenzy. For my money, I would be happy with this type of signing, what say you all?
