The Dallas Cowboys signed two UFL pass catchers with NFL experience while All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is still waiting on a new deal. After rookie Ryan Flournoy had a minor knee injury, wide receivers Deontay Burnett, Terrell Bynum, and Kelvin Harmon participated in team workouts on Saturday. Burnett and Harmon were both offered contracts, but Bynum chose not to sign.
In his junior year at USC, Burnett caught 86 passes for 1,114 yards and nine touchdowns; he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Titans in 2018. He was unable to make the squad, so he signed on as a practice squad member with the New York Jets, where he participated in six games during the regular season.
In 2022, he was drafted by the XFL’s Houston Roughnecks, who would later become the Houston Gamblers of the UFL. In 2024, he had 33 receptions for 306 yards and two touchdowns as a member of the UFL’s Arlington Renegades.
Harmon had 177 catches for 2,665 yards and 16 touchdowns for North Carolina State before joining the Washington Commanders as a sixth-round pick in 2019. After appearing in 16 regular season games as a rookie, Harmon missed the 2020 season with an ACL tear and spent 2021 on the team’s practice squad.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound receiver spent 2023 with the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars and last season with the UFL’s DC Defenders, where his three touchdowns tied for eighth-most in the league.
