You may remember in 2016, the NFL wouldn't allow the Cowboys to wear the Arm In Arm decals honoring the five officers killed in downtown Dallas.
Before Thursday's game, the team honored Paul with a video and with a moment of silence.
As word of his death spread, players, coaches and others who knew him shared remembrances online. A sampling of those are below, including a statement from the team, Jerry Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy.
