BREAKING: Cowboys DE Dorance Armstrong set to leave for Commanders

[DrRage]

Dorance Armstrong looks to be on his way to play for Dan Quinn for a fourth straight year. The defensive end is reportedly finalizing a deal to leave the Cowboys and sign with the Washington Commanders, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.  The move came less than 90 minutes into the start of the so-called “legal tampering period” that precedes free agency and the start of the new league year. Armstrong, 26, was a fourth-round draft pick by Dallas in 2018 out of Kansas. He saw action in 77 games over six seasons with the Cowboys, registering 156 tackles, 21 sacks, three passes defended, three forced fumbles, and five fumble recoveries. The vast majority of those stats came since 2021, when Quinn became the defensive coordinator in Dallas. Sources: The #Commanders plan to sign DE Dorance Armstrong.

Armstrong’s new DC in Washington will be Joe Whitt Jr., also formerly on staff in Dallas.
