Cowboys Hogtie Sensabaugh

The Dallas Cowboys released pro-bowl safety Roy Williams last week and may lose unrestricted free agent safety Keith Davis. In a move to address this suddenly thin position the Cowboys have added Jacksonville Jaguars free agent Gerald Sensabaugh. He has reportedly signed a one-year deal and we are all waiting on financial terms of the deal.


Sensabaugh, 25, should compete for the starting job at strong safety. If Sensabaugh, who is a physical player but lacks some coverage skills, doesn't win the starting job alongside free safety Ken Hamlin, he will be a solid reserve safety. Dallas has very little experience at safety besides Hamlin.


A four-year veteran, all with Jacksonville, is coming off his best season as a pro, yet the Jaguars made little attempt to re-sign him. He started 13 games in 2008 and had 70 tackles, four interceptions and eight passes defensed, all career highs.


He has played in 50 games, with 24 starts. For his career, Sensabaugh has 118 tackles, six interceptions and 11 passes defensed.
