Former Washington Football Team tight end Jeremy Sprinkle has sided with the enemy, signing with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys announced the signing Wednesday afternoon but did not disclose terms of the deal.

Sprinkle was an unrestricted free agent and will replace Blake Bell as the team's blocking tight end. Bell agreed to a deal to return to the Chiefs.

Dalton Schultz filled the role as the top pass catcher at the position last season after Blake Jarwin was lost to a torn ACL in the season opener in Los Angeles. Jarwin is expected to ready to go when the season begins.

Washington selected Sprinkle in the fifth round of the 2017 draft out of Arkansas. The 26-year-old appeared in 59 out of a possible 64 games in his four years with Washington. He has 34 catches for 301 yards and three touchdowns in his career.
