IRVING, Texas (AP) The Cowboys have re-signed linebacker Kyle Wilber and offensive lineman Charles Brown while adding four compensatory picks in this year's NFL draft.

Wilber just completed his rookie contract as mostly a backup linebacker and special teams player who also spent time on the defensive line. His signing was announced Friday along with Brown, a backup tackle.

The 26-year-old Wilber has 64 solo tackles and 31 assists in 58 games over four seasons.

Dallas will get the 135th overall pick in the fourth round along with three sixth-round choices. The compensation comes from seven free-agent departures last year, highlighted by 2014 NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray.

The Cowboys join San Francisco and New England with a league-high four extra picks.
