On Friday, the Dallas Cowboys signed James Washington, a former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter it is a one year deal for Washington. He will be able to go home to Texas and rebuild his value for next season.
Washington’s 2021 production was a success, but maybe a change of scenery will help him reach his full potential.
Washington caught 114 passes for 1,629 yards and 11 touchdowns during his four-year tenure with the Steelers.
Former Steelers’ WR James Washington is going back to his home state of Texas and signing a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, per his agents @DrewJRosenhaus and @RyanMatha.

Dez Bryant called the signing earlier in the week, even though he won’t get much credit.
Bryant tweeted Monday, “James Washington to Dallas Cowboys just knew you heard it first right there.”
The Cowboys won’t have Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Amari Cooper on their roster next season. Washington will be needed to make plays.
