AROUND THE NFL

The Cowboys have found Troy Aikman’s successor.

Free agent Tony Banks, who began last season as the Ravens’ starting quarterback, agreed to a one-year deal with the Cowboys, the Cowboys announced on their Web site.

Banks will earn a base salary of about $500,000, fitting the Cowboys’ need for a starting quarterback at a low price. The deal also includes incentives that can increase its value.

Chester McGlockton, a top defensive tackle released by the Chiefs in a salary-cut move, is expected to sign a four-year contract with the Broncos.

McGlockton’s agent, Marvin Demoff, said his client regrets not signing with the Broncos when he visited Denver as a free agent two years ago. Instead, he signed with the Chiefs, with whom he spent the past two seasons before being cut last month.

His salary with the Chiefs would have been more than $5 million this season.
