Spencer signs his tender: Outside linebacker Anthony Spencer officially signed his one-year franchise tender of $8.8 million, putting him with the Cowboys in 2012 (and a free agent again in 2013). Spencer has been wanting a new long-term contract but it appears the club prefers a one-year deal. With the NFL Draft three days away, Spencer signed the deal to keep the Cowboys from potentially pulling back the offer, a possibility if they drafted a potential replacement. (Updated 04/24/2012)
