The Facts:
The Cowboys beefed up their running back position even more on Monday, signing the former Bear to a one-year deal. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, Thomas won't be placed on the Cowboys' official roster until Tuesday, when the transaction will go through the league office.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
But the addition of Thomas gives the Cowboys more size and depth at running back, a position head coach Bill Parcells said he wanted to address in the offseason. Parcells made it clear he wanted to give Julius Jones some help after the rookie tied an NFL-record by posting at least 30 carries in three straight games. While the Cowboys drafted Marion Barber in the fourth round last weekend, Thomas gives the team more of a short-yardage threat with his 6-2, 225-pound frame.
