Joseph signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph was rumored to sign with Dallas a week ago, and the transaction is now official. He played in seven regular-season games for the Bills in 2023, finishing with 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks. The 2010 second-round pick adds valuable veteran depth to the Cowboys' interior defensive line behind Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa.

The Cowboys and Joseph are finalizing a contract worth up to $4 million in incentives, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph's contract with Dallas reportedly includes $2.5 million guaranteed. The veteran nose tackle suited up for just seven games with Buffalo last season, with his stat line of 12 total tackles and 1.0 sacks representing a career-low mark. Joseph now reunites with defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer with the Cowboys, where he stands to handle a rotational role.

Joseph recorded a solo tackle, which was a sack, in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph signed with the Bills in early November. In Sunday's defeat, he was able to corral Jalen Hurts for his first sack of the 2023 campaign. The nose tackle played only 16 defensive snaps in the contest, his lowest in four games with Buffalo, so his production will likely continue to be limited moving forward.

Coach Brandon Staley confirmed that Joseph tested positive for COVID-19, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph's positive test will make him the third Chargers defensive lineman to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list alongside Jerry Tillery (illness) and Christian Covington (illness). Joseph is reportedly unvaccinated according to Joe Reedy of the Associated Press, which would cause the veteran defensive tackle to miss this Sunday's matchup against the division rival Broncos. Backup Breiden Fehoko should be in line to start once again after seeing the majority of the snaps at defensive tackle with Joseph out last Sunday.
