The Dallas Cowboys continue to bolster their defensive line with the signing of Payton Turner, a former first-round pick from the New Orleans Saints. Standing at 6'6" and weighing 270 pounds, Turner was selected 28th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft but faced challenges during his tenure with the Saints, including injuries that hindered his development.

In his four seasons with New Orleans, he notched 50 tackles, five sacks, and 11 tackles for loss across 31 games without a start. The Cowboys are hoping Turner can revitalize his career in Dallas, especially with the potential for him to learn and grow alongside Micah Parsons, another 2021 first-round selection renowned for his pass-rushing prowess.
