Cowboys Trade with Seahawks for RB Christine Michael

by Leave a Comment

The Dallas Cowboys added a fourth competitor to their running back stable by trading a conditional 2016 Draft Pick for the Seattle Seahawk’s Christine Michael, a former 2013 second round draft pick from Texas A&M.

To make room for Michael, the Dallas Cowboys put DE Lavar Edwards on waivers, which brings the total of defensive linemen on the team to 10.
