IRVING - Tight end Dan Campbell was the Cowboys captain on offense in 2005, but that doesn't mean he's a lock to return in 2006.

Campbell's agent, Leonard Roth, said Friday he has yet to hear from the Cowboys on if they are interested in re-signing Campbell, who is an unrestricted free agent.

"In the past, they have contacted me by now," Roth said. "Dan really wants to play for them again."

Campbell, who will be 30 next season, appeared in all 16 games for the Cowboys in 2005. He caught three passes, including a game-winning touchdown against Kansas City. His primary function is as a blocker, and it's expected that he will return.

"Our first choice is the Cowboys with hopefully a deal he can finish his career with the Cowboys," Roth said.
