Cowboys sign veteran long snapper Trent Sieg after McQuaide loss
The Cowboys have landed a new long snapper from the waters of free agency.
Trent Sieg will now wear the star after Dallas signed him to a one-year contract on Wednesday, per the team website.
The 27-year-old had been with the Raiders for five seasons. He first came aboard for Oakland as an injury replacement early in the 2018 season and never gave the job back. After their move to Las Vegas, the club signed Sieg to a three-year contract extension in March 2021.
Sieg was released last week after the Raiders inked a new specialist at the position. The Cowboys, coincidentally, found themselves in the market for a long snapper at about the same time, after Jake McQuaide signed to play for Detroit. Matt Overton, who filled in for McQuaide after an early-October triceps tear, is also a free agent this offseason.
Sieg played his college ball at Colorado State and was a teammate of current Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup.
