Ex-Colts DE Ben Banogu signs with Cowboys

Former Indianapolis Colts defensive end Ben Banogu signed with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, per Michael Gehlken of Dallas Morning News.

Banogu, a second-round pick in 2019, never fully developed into the pass-rushing weapon the Colts hoped he would. In 50 career games (no starts), Banogu recorded just 2.5 sacks, three tackles for loss and six quarterback hits.

He became a free agent this offseason following the expiration of his rookie contract.

Banogu’s biggest selling point is his elite athleticism, which teams will continue to try to develop. However, the tape he put on display across his four seasons leaves a lot to be desired as a pass rusher.

This offseason, the Colts added Samson Ebukam to the defensive end room while Yannick Nagkoue remains a free agent as well at the time of this writing.
