The Cowboys signed 6-foot-2, 302-pound guard Steve Franklin on Thursday.

Franklin went to training camp as a rookie free agent with Kansas City last summer. After being released last August, Franklin spent the rest of the season out of football.

Franklin was a three-year starter at Syracuse and team captain as a senior.

The Cowboys have six guards on their roster, including veteran Andre Gurode, who can play both guard and center.
