The Dallas Cowboys are keeping two of their own in free agency by agreeing to contracts with safety and leading tackler Donovan Wilson and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. A person with knowledge of the deal says Wilson agreed on a $24 million, three-year contract. Another person says Vander Esch is returning for $11 million over two years. Wilson rose from a sixth-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2019 to a starter in his second season. Wilson led NFL safeties with five sacks last season.
