The Facts: The Cowboys have retained their second free agent of the new league year. One week after signing Dak Prescott, the front office has agreed with Brown on a one-year deal that would keep him in Dallas for the 2021 season.

Diehards Line:That's not terribly surprising, given the variety of different hats Brown wore for the Cowboys last year. The 2017 draft pick had a particularly impressive training camp and carried it into the season, playing roughly 50 percent of the team's special teams snaps and 20 percent of the offensive snaps behind the trio of Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb. On a team with this much offensive firepower, Brown's role was never going to be huge. He started one game at receiver and caught 14 balls for 154 yards, both of which were career highs. Still, Brown was useful on special teams, and his 6-2, 225-pound frame makes him valuable as a blocker.
