Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Giants and the Cowboys.
Martellus Bennett
Martellus Bennett is a former tight end, known for his unique combination of size, speed, and hands. He was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent four seasons but never quite reached his potential as a top-tier tight end.
Bennett’s career took off when he joined the New York Giants in 2012, recording 55 receptions for 626 yards and five touchdowns in his single season with the team. He then moved to the Chicago Bears and in 2014 has 90 catches, 916 yards, and 6 touchdowns, earning his first and only Pro Bowl selection.
His career highlights also include winning Super Bowl LI with the New England Patriots during the 2016 season. After a brief stint with the Green Bay Packers in 2017, he returned to the Patriots but retired after the 2017 season.
Michael Barrow
Micheal Barrow was selected by the Houston Oilers in the second round of the 1993 NFL Draft, 47th overall. Playing as a linebacker, he spent 12 seasons in the NFL with the Oilers, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins.
Barrow’s career stats include 1,124 total tackles, 43 sacks, and 2 interceptions. He had several productive seasons, with a particularly standout year in 2003 with the Giants when he recorded 150 total tackles and 14 tackles for loss.
Throughout his career, Barrow was recognized for his tackling ability and defensive awareness, and he played a crucial role in several successful defenses during his time in the league.
Anthony Wright
Anthony Wright had a journeyman career in the NFL as a quarterback. He was undrafted in the 1999 NFL Draft but managed to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Over his career, he played for several teams, including the Dallas Cowboys (2000–2001), Baltimore Ravens (2002–2005), Cincinnati Bengals (2006), and New York Giants (2007). He won a Super Bowl ring as a backup QB with the Giants that season.
While never becoming a long-term starting quarterback, Wright made some memorable appearances, particularly with the Baltimore Ravens. He led the Ravens to a playoff appearance during the 2003 season when he filled in Kyle Boller.
