37-year-old T.J. Ward (jokingly?) says he could help Cowboys on defense

The Dallas Cowboys were absolutely embarrassed by the Detroit Lions in a 47-9 loss at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.

Former NFL safety T.J. Ward apparently watched the game and he (jokingly?) suggested on Twitter/X that he could help the Cowboys.

“Ay @dallascowboys I can still tackle. Hit my phone,” Ward tweeted.

Ward is 37 years old (he’ll turn 38 in December) and he last spent time in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020. He retired from the NFL in 2021.

Ward played for the Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cards during his eight-year career in the NFL. He clearly was not impressed with Dallas’ performance against Detroit:

Ward was a key member of the Broncos’ famous “No Fly Zone” secondary that helped the team win Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season. A two-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro, Ward totaled 607 tackles, 44 pass breakups, 10 forced fumbles, 8.5 sacks and eight interceptions in his career. We’ll see if the Cowboys give him a call.
