Dallas Cowboys sign Micah Parsons’ college teammate for added depth on defensive line

The Dallas Cowboys have signed not one, but two veteran free agents to bolster the team’s defensive end depth following Sam Williams’ injury over the weekend.

Shortly after signing Al-Quadin Muhammad to a one-year contract, reports surfaced that the Cowboys would also sign Shaka Toney.

Toney and Muhammad are two of four defensive ends who worked out for the team on Thursday. Other defensive ends who worked out for Dallas were Carl Lawson and Justin Hollins.

What’s interesting about Toney is that he was a first-team All-Big Ten selection and a college teammate of Cowboys star Micah Parsons at Penn State.

Toney was selected by the Washington Commanders, then the Washington Football Team, in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

He saw limited action during his time in Washington, recording just 16 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

The NFL suspended Toney indefinitely for betting on games during the 2022 season and he was reinstated in April 2024. The Commanders released him less than a week later.

Now, Toney has his chance at redemption in Big D.
