Cowboys Sign UFL Offensive Lineman Chris Glaser

The move gives Dallas a low-cost interior lineman the team will evaluate during mandatory minicamp to test spring-league talent for depth.

Overview

  • The Cowboys have added Chris Glaser, a 26-year-old interior lineman who spent the spring with the UFL’s Columbus Aviators, to a contract reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
  • Glaser is a journeyman who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia, has had brief stints with Kansas City, the Jets and Chicago, and logged regular reps in the UFL this year.
  • The Cowboys plan to assess Glaser immediately at mandatory minicamp and in training camp to see if he can provide reserve snaps on the interior offensive line.
  • Glaser projects as a right-guard or reserve center option behind starter Tyler Booker and backup T.J. Bass, which makes his path to the active roster difficult given Dallas’ existing depth.
  • The signing reflects a wider Dallas approach of mixing a defensive coaching overhaul with low-cost, high-effort additions from spring leagues, a pathway that lets fringe players showcase improvement for NFL chances.
