Nigerian-born American Football star, David Njoku has failed to seal a much-expected transfer to Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League (NFL), despite initial interest the franchise expressed in the tight end, megasportsarena.com gathered.
Aside Njoku, The Cowboys were also supposedly are interested in trading for safety ace, Jamal Adams and signing free agent defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, but their trade for the young Nigerian-born player has fallen flat, as they are unable to fit him under their salary cap.
Speculation that The Cowboys might have interest in Njoku began after his new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, asked The Browns to trade the Nigerian-born player, but Mike Fisher of SI.com quoted two sources as saying the Dallas-based side have no interest in trading for the tight end.
The Cowboys are a professional American football team based in Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and they compete in the United States’ National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the National Football Conference (NFC) East division.
The team’s headquarter is in Frisco, Texas, and they play their home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season and took its current name prior to the 2013 season.
The Cowboys joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1960 and made it to the Super Bowl eight times, tied with Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos for second most appearances in history at the glamour, just behind New England Patriots’ record eleven outings.
While Njoku missed out on a deal with the team, The Cowboys signed Blake Jarwin to a four-year deal with a base value of $22m, including guarantees of $9.25m, in March to be their starting tight end.
The Cowboys let veteran Jason Witten leave in free agency for Raiders, after he was something of a progress-stopper for Jarwin last season, then signed blocking tight end Blake Bell, formerly a part-time starter with The Chiefs, and they still have Dalton Schultz on the roster.
The Cowboys have a far bigger to-do on their to-do list, with 12 days left to get Dak Prescott signed to a long-term deal, otherwise the quarterback will play 2020 under the $31.4m franchise tag.
