Dallas Cowboys Lose Key DB Depth To Colts in NFL Free Agency

During his three-year career with the Cowboys, Thomas appeared in 36 games with four starts.

Thomas' departure seemed like a foregone conclusion after some of the early moves Dallas made at the start of free agency.

Two of the team's early signings came at the safety position, with the team adding former Arizona Cardinals standout Jalen Thompson and former Denver Broncos safety P.J. Locke. Both players are familiar with new Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker and appear poised to battle for starting roles.

Thomas is just the second Cowboys free agent to sign with another team so far this offseason.
