The Cowboys are signing offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji, according to Clarence Hill of DLLS Sports.
Adeniji is a five-year veteran who has experience at both tackle spots and right guard, though he hasn’t played regular-season snaps on offense since 2022. He spent the entire 2024 season on injured reserve with the Browns after injuring his knee during the preseason.
The 27-year-old began his career as a sixth-round pick by the Bengals in 2020 and appeared in 15 games with five starts as a rookie. Adeniji didn’t earn a starting job entering the 2021 regular season, but he took over at right guard in Week 9 and started every remaining game in Cincinnati’s run to the Super Bowl.
Adeniji was waived during final roster cuts in 2023 and joined the Vikings’ practice squad. He earned a promotion to Minnesota’s active roster in Minnesota and finished the year with four appearances and 15 snaps, all on special teams.
In Dallas, Adeniji will likely be competing for a swing tackle job behind starters Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele, though he could factor into the team’s plans at right guard after the retirement of Zack Martin.
