The Dallas Cowboys exercised their rights to all eight draft picks in the Herschel Walker trade and offered the Minnesota Vikings two mid-round picks for linebackers Jessie Solomon, David Howard and cornerback Issiac Holt.
Coach Jimmy Johnson also announced that veterans Ed Jones, Everson Walls and Tom Rafferty will be left unprotected when the roster of 37 protected players is sent to the NFL office today.
Dallas has Minnesota’s first-round pick for the draft this spring, first-round picks in 1991 and 1992, three second-round picks, one third-round choice and a sixth-round selection.
The trade stipulated that Holt, Solomon, and Howard must be released by Feb. 1 in order for the Cowboys to receive all the draft choices from the Vikings.
