IRVING – Before the draft, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he was seriously considering drafting a quarterback. It didn't happen, but the Cowboys did sign a quarterback many thought would get picked upas a college free agent.
Oregon State's Matt Moore signed with the Cowboys on Sunday, giving the Cowboys five quarterbacks on the roster, along with Tony Romo, Brad Johnson, Matt Baker and Brock Berlin.
In 24 games at Oregon State, Moore threw for 5,733 yards with 29 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. As a senior, he earned second-team All-Pac 10 honors, throwing for 3,022 yards with 18 touchdowns and seven picks.
The Cowboys also signed two University of Houston players in running back Jackie Battle and tight end Rodney Hannah. Battle's stock rose during his senior season, when he ran for 943 yards on 184 carries and scored 15 touchdowns.
The Cowboys added two offensive linemen in Florida center Steve Rissler and New Mexico tackle Robert Turner and two wide receivers in Boise State's Jerard Rabb and Montana State's Mike Jefferson.
The rest of the additions: Oregon linebacker Blair Phillips, Hampton running back Alonzo Coleman, Nebraska defensive tackle Ola Dagunduro, Central Arkansas safety Jasper Johnson and Missouri linebacker Dedrick Harrington.
