Archer: Cowboys Sign Jim Molinaro OT
By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News
tarcher@dallasnews.com IRVING – Throughout the off-season, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones expressed confidence in what Dallas had at free safety, but the team will meet with free agent Ken Hamlin today.
Hamlin missed the final 10 games of the 2005 season because of serious head injuries suffered in an incident outside a Seattle nightclub. But he started every game for the Seahawks last season and had 96 tackles, two sacks and three interceptions.
A second-round pick in 2003 out of Arkansas, Hamlin, 6-2, 209 pounds, has eight career interceptions.
Pat Watkins (nine starts) and Keith Davis (six) split the free safety job with the Cowboys last season. Watkins tied for second on the team with three interceptions. He had 49 tackles.
Cowboys bolster offensive line: The Cowboys made the second addition to their offensive line through free agency by agreeing to a one-year deal with tackle Jim Molinaro on Tuesday.
Molinaro played in only 15 games in three seasons with Washington, but is a possibility as a backup at left and right tackle with Dallas.
A fifth-round pick by Washington in 2004, Molinaro, 6-6, 310 pounds, was not tendered a contract by the Redskins, allowing him to sign with any team without compensation.
Molinaro was one of three players the Cowboys worked out Tuesday.
Quarterback Brock Berlin, the biggest name to work out, has a history with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. Berlin spent the previous two summers in the Miami Dolphins' training camp.
Berlin spent two years at the University of Florida before transferring to Miami. He was not drafted in 2005 and spent last spring playing in NFL Europe for the Hamburg Sea Devils.
In the 2006 preseason with the Dolphins, he completed six of 12 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown.
Wide receiver Jamel Richardson, a four-year veteran of the CFL's Saskatchewan Rough Riders, also worked out.
