Should the Cowboys Sign UFL 'Spring King' QB?

Signing Perez would be nothing more than the Cowboys picking up a "camp arm" or someone the team invites to help conduct drills during training camp alongside other QBs on the roster.

But with a good showing, the opportunity is there for Perez to earn a place on the practice squad or prove that he deserves a full-time roster spot.

The top two quarterback positions are all but decided in Dallas with the NFL's highest-paid player in Dak Prescott getting first reps, followed by the promising athletic freak Joe Milton III who was recently traded for.

Will Grier, Dallas' third string, could be in the running to face some competition if the Cowboys like what they see from Perez and bring him aboard.

The 31-year-old has a remarkable journey to get to where he is. He did not play high school football, was an amateur bowler, then taught himself how to play quarterback through YouTube tutorials. He has since gone on to star at Division II Texas A&M Commerce (now East Texas A&M), play in five different professional leagues (including practice squad stops on four NFL teams) and author a best-selling biography about the whole thing.

Perez's story could come full circle by being signed by the Cowboys, who play just across the street from Choctaw Stadium, where Perez became the face of the UFL with the Renegades.
