  Cowboys | Johnnie Dixon joins Dallas    Mon May 24, 01:16 PM

Free-agent WR Johnnie Dixon (Cardinals) signed with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, May 24. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Dixon was a UDFA out of Ohio State in 2019 and has spent time with the Texans and the Cardinals. He showed speed, special teams ability as a return man and a nose for the end zone in college. The Cowboys are stacked with talent at the wide receiver position, so Dixon is a long shot to make the 53-man roster.

  Browns | Johnnie Dixon trying out    Sun May 16, 01:26 PM

Free-agent WR Johnnie Dixon (Cardinals) is participating in the Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

Footballguys view: Originally an undrafted free agent for the Texans in 2019, the former Ohio State receiver made some plays for them in the preseason (9 catches, 77 yards) but did not make the team. The Cardinals picked him up and stashed him on their practice squad after that and since then. Dixon is a long shot to make the Browns roster and is angling to get on their practice squad.
