James Washington started a Thursday afternoon conference call quickly apologizing. Washington missed a chat with reporters a few days earlier because he had something important going on: He needed to unload an order of hay on his 40-acre ranch.
Gone is lead receiver Amari Cooper who was traded to Cleveland. Cedrick Wilson, a key backup receiver/ dependable special teams man, signed a deal with Miami in free agency.
So the Cowboys signed Washington to a one-year deal with the hopes he can fill a void left with Wilson’s departure and the uncertainty surrounding Michael Gallup’s return from offseason surgery to repair a torn ACL.
