3/19/13
IRVING, Texas - The Dallas Cowboys have re-signed linebacker Ernie Sims
to a one-year deal worth a reported $715,000.
Sims joined the Cowboys in midseason last year when defensive leader Sean
Lee was lost for the season with a toe injury. The seven-year veteran ended up
making six starts and finished with 42 tackles in 10 games.
Sims will be in a group of players batting for a starting job at outside
linebacker. The Cowboys are switching to the 4-3 defense, and Sean Lee and Bruce
Carter will fill two of the starting spots. Lee is likely to be the middle
linebacker.
The 28-year-old Sims was a first-round pick by Detroit in 2006 and spent
four seasons there before a year each in Philadelphia and Indianapolis.
