Bullard to Cowboys, Saints Seek DT

0:00On March 28, Jonathan Bullard, the 32-year-old defensive lineman who just wrapped up with the New Orleans Saints, is heading to the Dallas. Cowboys on a one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million. That's a solid bump from the 1.4 million he earned last season in New Orleans. Bullard entered the league as a third-round pick by the Chicago Bears out of Florida back in 2016, and he's bounced around to six. Including Stints with Arizona, Seattle, Atlanta, Minnesota, and now Dallas after the Saints. Last year, he held down the run game strong for New Orleans, not missing a tackle on over 200 reps, though he struggled more against the pass. With minimal pressure, the Cowboys, who hit some rough lows on defense in 2025, could use that reliability to shore things up. For the Saints, this opens the door to rebuild their aging interior line, where only young Brian Brisee cracks the under-30 club among key players, backing bets like Nathan Shepard and
