The Facts: The Cowboys signed Bollinger on Monday. The move, widely expected since last week, was confirmed on the Dallas Morning News' web site, which reported that he received a $40,000 signing bonus and a prorated one-year deal worth $569,411.
Diehards Line:Released by Minnesota on August 30, Bollinger previously played for the Vikings and New York Jets during his four-year career. He started nine games for New York in 2005 and once last year for Minnesota. The 28-year-old quarterback visited the Cowboys' team facilities last week but did not sign until Monday, meaning his base salary is not guaranteed for the full season.
