Josh Brent Getting Another Shot With the Dallas Cowboys

Many people thought the Dallas Cowboys made a mistake the last time they brought former defensive lineman Josh Brent back. They didn't like seeing a guy that had killed a teammate, Jerry Brown, in a drunk driving accident get a second chance to play professional football again. Jerry Jones brought him back anyway, but in May he retired a second time.

Before you curse the Cowboys for bringing him back into the organization keep in mind that he is helping support Brown's child. So don't consider it as the Cowboys doing him a favor, but the Cowboys doing Brown's daughter a favor.
