Dallas Cowboys Heavy Metal Deal

Three Dallas Cowboys have signed a heavy metal record deal with an Australian music company.

The "heavier than metal" rockers are none other than lineman Leonard Davis, Marc Colombo and Cory Procter.

Their band named "Free Reign" has a debut album coming out this fall produced by Australia's Riot Entertainment.

"Free Reign is a band with massive potential," Riot owner John Howarth said in a news release Tuesday. "

He added, "There has been an enormous buzz surrounding them since they appeared on the scene a few months ago. Free Reign has already been flooded with endorsements. Their marketing potential is limitless. These guys are already huge sports stars, but they have shown they have the talent to diversify."

Guitarist Justin Chapman is the fourth member of the group. Their final gig of the offseason is Saturday at the House of Blues in Dallas.

Riot also has signed the group Fozzy, which includes professional wrestler Chris Jericho.
