Cowboys re-sign Colombo to two-year, $7M deal

A week after the Cowboys paid more than $49 million to add Leonard Davis to the right side of their defensive line, the Cowboys filled out the rest of the right side by re-signing right tackle Marc Colombo.

Colombo received a two-year, $7 million deal that includes a $4 million signing bonus. The Jets were among other teams pursuing the former Bears No. 1 draft choice, but Colombo opted to stay with the Cowboys.

With Colombo under contract, Davis can concentrate on playing right guard. Colombo's re-signing was considered a top priority of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He re-signed center Andre Gurode before the start of free agency, then added Davis last week. Colombo's return ends any uncertainty about the offensive line.
