According to Michael Gehlken, the Cowboys are hosting veteran OT Jared Veldheer for a visit on Wednesday.
Dallas is in a bit of a pickle at right tackle as both La’el Collins and Cameron Erving are on injured reserve. Undrafted rookie Terrence Steele started Sunday’s loss to the Rams.
Veldheer waffled on retirement last year but ended up signing with the Packers and finishing out the year at right tackle with them, so he could do something similar for Dallas.
Veldheer, 33, is a former third-round pick of the Raiders back in 2010. After four years in Oakland, Veldheer signed a five-year, $35 million contract that included $10.5 million guaranteed with the Cardinals in March of 2014.
The Cardinals later traded Veldheer to the Broncos in exchange for a sixth-round pick. He made a base salary of $6.5 million for the 2018 season.
The Patriots signed Veldheer to a one-year, $6.5 million last offseason but he retired a few months later. Vehldeer was claimed off of waivers by the Packers after he came out of retirement and was released by the Patriots.
In 2019, Veldheer played in two games for the Packers. He received a 64.1 grade from Pro Football Focus in 98 snaps, which would have ranked him No. 49 out of 82 tackles if he had enough snaps to qualify.
