Former Dallas DT Leon Lett will be graduating from UNLV on Saturday.
Lett came to Las Vegas last year to visit his former Cowboys position coach, Andre Patterson, who had recently joined the staff at UNLV. Lett needed three semesters to complete his course work, which included independent study.
Roy Williams finalized his deal with Cincinnati today. It sounds like former Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is excited to work again with the safety.
"Roy had his best years when we were together in Dallas and I think we can take advantage of all his strengths in our (4-3) scheme," Zimmer said. "Roy is a big hitter, a very tough player who lends a physical presence to a defense, and he makes plays. He has also been very durable, with just the one injury that cost him last year, and that was a broken bone that's healed now."

Training camp will begin at the end of July inside San Antonio's Alamodome, but work on the Valley Ranch practice fields may not be finished when the team returns.
