00:00Your Dallas Cowboys just got one done.
00:04I'm Mike Fisher reporting from Oxnard, California, home of the Cowboys training camp, where their
00:09search for a defensive end has landed them on Al-Quadeen Mohamed.
00:14Not on Carl Lawson.
00:16Not yet, anyway.
00:17Stay tuned for that in a moment.
00:19The tryout for defensive ends were involved in it, and the name guy in that group, the
00:25biggest name, the most accomplished guy, is Carl Lawson.
00:27So, I totally understand why media and fans were like, what about Carl Lawson?
00:32Well, the guy that wins this workout is Mohamed.
00:37Six round pick a few years ago, he's 29 years old, 6'4", 260.
00:40Six round pick of the Saints, played for them for a little bit.
00:44Had two stints with the Colts, where he had effectiveness as a pass rusher.
00:49People in the scouting business think he can also do some things as a run stopper as well.
00:56Again, a 260 pound defensive end.
00:59He was out of football last year.
01:02He's got a couple of blemishes on his mark over the course of the years.
01:06Now, there's questions.
01:08Is he the guy because, and he's got a one year deal, was he the best guy in the tryout
01:13who was happy making veterans minimum, which is surely what this is.
01:17In other words, maybe Carl Lawson looked good in the tryout, but didn't want to settle for
01:22the kind of money that the Cowboys are throwing around in this BIU, blow it up, slash remodel
01:28circumstance.
01:30Does this signing of Mohamed preclude the Cowboys from having another one?
01:34It does not.
01:35Does the signing of a defensive end preclude the Cowboys from looking around at defensive
01:39tackle?
01:40Not that Mozzie Smith's doing anything wrong, he's not.
01:43But Linvald Joseph is a guy who Mike Zimmer has right in his phone, the former Viking
01:50two-time pro bowler who's 35 years old.
01:53I bet you Linvald Joseph doesn't want to necessarily come to a training camp at 35 years old.
01:59So since he's in Zimmer's phone, make sure you put him in your phone too.
02:03But this time around, it's Mohamed, the defensive end, who signs with the Cowboys to fill the
02:09space vacated by the season-ending injury to Sam Williams.
02:15More fish at six tonight.
02:17We'll go live from Oxnard and we'll have more on this transaction.
02:20And on Trayvon Diggs and some other things that went on in the Cowboys workout session
02:24today.
02:25Oh, and a hangout with Bones Fossil too as he walks us through some of the secrets of
02:31the Cowboys' kickoff returns this week.
02:33All that fish at six tonight.
02:34Join us then.
02:35Fish out.
