Rhodes was released from Buffalo after he was limited to two games (one start) this season. Dallas is a good landing spot for Rhodes with CBs Anthony Brown and Jourdan Lewis out for the year. Rhodes won't be active in Week 18 but could be added to the Cowboys' playoff roster.

The Bills signed safety Jared Mayden from the NY Jets practice squad in a corresponding move. Rhodes only took the field two times for the Bills, with his most recent appearance coming in Week 13. He will look to latch on with a new team next season if no one takes a flyer on him in the playoffs. Now 32 years old and looking for his third team in as many seasons, Rhodes is nothing more than a depth option at this point in his career.

The team placed CB Christian Benford on injured reserve in an associated move. Benford had been listed "week to week" with an oblique injury but will now miss the minimum four games. John Brown returns to the team as wide receiver depth.
