IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms with Henry Melton, the third defensive lineman to join them in free agency since the release of franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware. Blank Jersey . A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that the team was working on final details of the contract Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an agreement had not been announced. Melton missed most of last season with Chicago after tearing a ligament in his left knee against Pittsburgh on Sept. 22. He will be reunited with former Bears defensive co-ordinator Rod Marinelli, who now has the same title in Dallas. The fifth-year player was a high school running back in the Dallas area before becoming a defensive tackle with the Texas Longhorns. The 27-year-old Melton has 15 1/2 sacks and 63 tackles in 48 career games, including 32 starts. The Bears drafted him in the fifth round in 2009, and he missed his rookie season with an ankle injury. Melton was arrested in December in Grapevine, where he went to high school, on charges of assault and public intoxication after police say he refused to leave a bar and fought with employees. Police say Melton was accused of punching the bar manager in the face and biting his arm. Meltons agent, Jordan Woy, said at the time that his client didnt start the altercation. The Cowboys released Ware, their star defensive end, just as free agency opened. Defensive tackle Jason Hatcher signed with Washington after leading the Cowboys with 11 sacks last season. A day after Wares release, the Cowboys signed defensive end Jeremy Mincey and defensive tackle Terrell McClain. Mincey is the teams current career leader with 20 sacks, now followed by Melton. Next on this list with 10 is George Selvie, who wasnt even on the Dallas roster when training camp started last season and ended up second to Hatcher with seven sacks on an injury plagued unit. Marinelli came to Dallas a year ago as defensive line coach with then-defensive co-ordinator Monte Kiffin after Lovie Smith was fired in Chicago. He was promoted when Kiffin was reassigned after the Cowboys gave up the most yards in franchise history and finished last in the NFL in total defence. Julie Johnston Jersey . Halak did not get the start in the Washington Capitals Tuesday night game against the St. Morgan Brian Jersey . Jacob Jacques, Andrew Ryan and Jonathan Drouin also scored for Halifax (37-18-3), who outshot the Islanders 40-26. Kevin Darveau stopped 25 shots. Bradley Kennedy had the lone goal for Charlottetown (18-33-5), which has nine losses in its last 10 games.Did your Premier League team live up to expectations at the weekend? Weve asked former Arsenal and England defender, and Sky Sports Now guest, Nigel Winterburn to give each side a grade based on their 90-minute performance over the weekend.So how did your team fare? Did they get an A+ or an F, or somewhere in between? Read on to see how your team has been ranked... Premier League weekend results Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool Leicester 2-2 West Ham Chelsea 0-3 Man City Everton 1-1 Southampton West Brom 0-1 Watford Man Utd 1-0 Aston Villa Newcastle 3-0 Swansea Norwich 0-3 Sunderland Sunderland - AThey have played quite well in some of their games recently but have not got the results they probably deserved with their energy, work-rate and chances created. Norwich was such a big game for them and they got the win they needed against the side just above them in the table.Manchester City - A-A good performance from City. Chelsea havent delivered this season, but they have been in quite decent form recently and can still be a tough team to beat, so this was an impressive result.Liverpool - B+They were on a high from the Europa League and its sometimes difficult to produce a top-quality performance after a result like that. But Jurgen Klopp made a lot of changes and they were very good. I expected them to win with the quality they had, but away games are never that easy. Daniel Sturridge scored Liverpools second goal against Bournemouth Newcastle - B+A good result for Newcastle that they really needed. The performance was quite strong, they came under a lot of pressure at 1-0 but got the important second goal that gave them the belief they could win the game. They were under immense pressure.Southampton - B+It was a good performance and they had several chances they should have taken. They will be disappointed they didnt come away with the win.West Ham - B+They will be frustrated as they feel decisions have been going against them at times this season. In the second half, they came back into it quite well and were away against the league leaders, so not a bad point. Watch Aaron Cresswells strike, which gave West Ham a 2-1 lead against Leicester Leicester - BSome frustration from Leicester but it was a difficult game. They havent been at their best in the last few weeks but they have got results. From their point of view, its all about momentum. They showed great courage to come back and nick the point, they just have to focus on picking up the results and getting to the finish line.Watford - BThey have picked up a few surprise results this season and they showed when they get the lead they can be hard to play against. The goals have dried up for Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo, but they still managed to get the win away from home.Manchester United - B-It wasnt as clinical as many people expected, but its still a win and thats what United need at this stage of the season if they are going to challenge for a top-four finish. Marcus Rashfords goal gave Manchester United victory over Aston Villa Palace - B-I think Palace will admit they were a bit lucky. Abby Smith Jersey. They were content to frustrate Arsenal, but they came on stronger in the last 20 minutes and made a couple of substitutions which gave them more power going forward. Its a fantastic point for them.Bournemouth - CA disappointing first half meant they were 2-0 down at the break. They came back into it, but couldnt get the goal right until the end when it was too late.Arsenal - C+It was a very weird game. Arsenal controlled it, but they were a bit one-paced and Palace sat in and frustrated them. Arsenal got ahead, but their Achilles heel this season has been not seeing games out. It wasnt a dynamic performance from Arsenal. Should Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech have kept out Yannick Bolasies long-range shot? West Brom - C+They will be looking at the two missed penalties and thinking how they did not get anything out of this match.Everton - CEverton made a few changes, but they are struggling to win games at home, so it wasnt a surprising result. A lot of Everton supporters are not happy with Roberto Martinez and the amount of goals the team is conceding, especially at home.Swansea - CThey will look back to the period when they were on top and didnt score. If they had taken any of those chances then the game could have turned out differently.Chelsea - DIt was a flat performance from Chelsea. They were very open and it looked like Manchester City could cut through them at will at times. Maybe it was an end-of-season performance with not a lot to play for, but it was very disappointing from Chelsea. Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp analyse Manchester Citys lightning-fast counter-attack for their second goal against Chelsea Aston Villa - DIt looks like they have done some work on organisation, but there is no real desire to see it through. They know they are relegated now and a lot of Villa fans will probably think I am being kind giving them a D.Norwich - DVery flat. They will say decisions maybe went against them but it was very disappointing from them at home against a team they did not want to lose against.What do you think?
