SAN ANTONIO - The transaction line reads: Cowboys sign third-round draft pick Jason Witten and fourth-round pick Bradie James while cutting kicker Ola Kimrin and safety Keith Davis to reach roster limit.
There is more, not to mention, a moral to this story.
The biggest reason Davis' name is included is because he disobeyed an edict by coach Bill Parcells. The players were instructed by Parcells to not go to strip clubs. Davis suffered multiple gunshot wounds outside a Dallas topless club last month.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said a couple of weeks ago the incident might cost Davis his spot.
They had to cut two players because Witten and James finally are under contract, meaning the Cowboys start practice this morning with all of their draft picks signed. Their deals took slightly longer because the Cowboys had to get creative after giving No. 1 pick Terence Newman a $13,001,000 signing bonus.
