Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne missed practices throughout the offseason because of his wrist injury. He won't miss any practices in training camp because of his contract.
Claiborne signed a four-year, $16.26 million deal with the Cowboys, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network on Monday. No "offset" language is included in the contract, which has a fifth-year option.
The Cowboys' official website later confirmed the deal and said Claiborne's fully guaranteed contract includes a $10.3 million signing bonus.
With Mike Jenkins also arriving to training camp on time, the Cowboys finally will have the deep cornerback group that they envisioned. Claiborne reportedly was fully cleared for practice and will be ready to compete for a starting job on Day 1.
Claiborne figures to start opposite big free-agent signing Brandon Carr, assuming that August goes as planned for the rookie. Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick will battle for the reserve spots.
UPDATE: Claiborne tweeted later Monday about officially joining the Cowboys.
