Cowboys ink Cedric Thornton to four-year deal

The Dallas Cowboys signed DE Cedric Thornton to a four-year deal that exceeds $18 million according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

The Cowboys bolstered their pass rush by signing Cedric Thornton on Thursday. Thornton played with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles since they drafted him in 2012. Thornton has been proven durable. Since his rookie year in 2012, the defensive end only missed three games, which all came in 2015. He finished the shortened campaign with 33 tackles, a sack and a pass deflection in 13 games.

Cedric Thornton signs 1-year Offer From Eagles

Cedric Thornton accepted his one-year offer sheet from the Eagles on Monday. The one-year contract will pay the underrated Defensive Tackle $2.35 million in the 2015 season.

Fantasy Impact

Thornton has played in all 32 games the past two seasons for the Eagles and is coming off a season in 2014 which saw him make 52 tackles, 1 sack, and 3 fumble recoveries. His best strength is helping to fill the gaps in the middle of the defense and stopping the run.

Cedric Thornton receives a second-round tender

DT Cedric Thornton received a second-round tener offer from the Eagles on Saturday. Thornton will make $2.356 million in 2015 if he signs the offer.

Fantasy Impact

Thornton has played 16 games in back to back seasons for the Eagles to start his NFL career. He is an underrated asset on the Eagles defensive line as he has recorded 112 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 3 fumble recoveries combined in the past two seasons.

7 tackles in Week 4 for Thornton

Cedric Thornton had a nice game on Sunday, racking up four solo tackles and three assists. He and NT Bennie Logan have been good for the Eagles so far this year. The defense completely out-shined the offense during Sunday's 26-21 Loss at the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Thornton has been a pretty consistent tackle producer throughout his career, but with very few sacks. He is a DL 3/4.
