Cowboys Sign Rookie RB Randle To 4-Year Deal

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) -- The Dallas Cowboys have signed 5th round pick RB Joseph Randle to a four-year deal. The terms of the deal were not made available by the team.

Randle was drafted with the 151st overall pick out of Oklahoma State University.

The 6-foot, 202-pound Randle rushed for 3,085 career yards and 40 touchdowns at OSU. Randle had consecutive 1,000-yard seasons before skipping his senior year to turn pro.

"If I had to pick an NFL team to play for when I was younger, I would've picked the Cowboys," said Randle at the Cowboys' rookie minicamp.

Randle is expected to back up incumbent starter DeMarco Murray, though he is currently limited by a thumb injury. He is expected to be healthy when the team enters training camp.

DeVonte Holloman became the first draft pick to sign, agreeing to a four-year deal last Friday.
