Lewis signs new contract, remains with Cowboys – Patrick Walker, DallasCowboys.com
DB Jordan Lewis is expected to join the Cowboys in 2024.
The former Ed Brock Courage Award winner agreed to terms to remain in Dallas on a one-year contract through the 2024 season, officially signing a new contract shortly after, joining Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders as defensive backs. It effectively stopped the drain of talent.
It was just a few seasons ago that Lewis was approached as a third-round pick out of the University of Michigan, where he had a hard time getting on the field for the Cowboys, but it wasn't for lack of talent, it was because he didn't like Kris Richard. be. His lack of size as a cornerback.
Lewis would eventually rise to the occasion and make Richard (and Rod Marinelli) look foolish for doubting him — at one point becoming the team's best (and only) defensive falconer and playmaker. .
Since then, he's gone from being overlooked to a breakout star at nickel corner, to a serious foot injury that nearly ended his career, to making a comeback and rejoining the Cowboys' top playmakers in 2023. I accomplished it. He is a mentor and one of the best defenders on the roster for a while and has a lot of influence over the remaining years of his career.
Cowboys 2024 Free Agent Tracker: Offseason Moves, Contracts – Todd Archer, ESPN
Special teams ace CJ Goodwin will return to Dallas in 2024.
CJ GoodwinC.B.
Goodwin will remain with the Cowboys on a one-year contract.
Its meaning: Goodwin has been the Cowboys' best special teams player in years when healthy. He missed 12 games last year with a pectoral injury, but still finished fourth on the team in special teams tackles. Goodwin would be an advantage if there were any changes to the kickoff rules, but he is a great gunner on the punt team and often requires double teams.
What are the risks: He got injured last year, and he's 34 years old. However, there is little financial risk. His return means special teams coordinator John Fassel will take over as coach on the field.
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones: We're 'well aware' of fan frustration – John Machota, The Athletic
Stephen Jones spoke out about media and fan frustrations, further clarifying his approach to being “all in.”
“I know where the frustration is, the fact that they haven't had the success they're comfortable with in the playoffs. Until they do that, there's definitely going to be criticism. I know that's going to happen. But we're going to stick to what we believe will ultimately win a championship here for the fans. We don't define “all in” by the amount of money we spend in free agency. It's about keeping the core (together). ”
During these types of media appearances, Jones typically answers a few questions about the event and then asks a few questions about the Cowboys and other NFL topics. Jones spoke for about 10 minutes Thursday, and all of his questions were about the team.
The core Jones was referring to is franchise QB Dak Prescott, All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, and All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb. All are preparing for new contracts. The biggest reason the Cowboys say they weren't very aggressive at the start of free agency is because they plan to re-sign all three players to contracts that would likely make them the highest-paid players at their positions, or close to it. is.
Asked about not being involved with the big names in free agency, Jones said, “I'm not frustrated because it means I did a good job in the draft.” “I think this is just a sign that we've done our job in terms of our organization, Will[McRae]our scouting department, our coaches, our player development. Micah and CeeDee. , and the challenge ahead of us with Dak (contract) is great in terms of keeping them under the cap, and certainly we're all committed to achieving that.
“You can't go after (high-priced free agents) players when you want to keep the players you've developed and worked hard to acquire. …The way I think about it, I've always said… “But you acquire players 365 days a year. It's not just the first, second, or third day of free agency.”
Cowboys target AJ Dillon Stiffarms with return to contract with Dallas, Packers – Jonathan Alfano, Sports Illustrated
Dallas Cowboys running back target AJ Dillion is no longer available as he is scheduled to return to Green Bay for another season.
It's safe to say that the Dallas Cowboys have already struck out when it comes to free agent running backs.
Another rumored target came off the board Thursday, as AJ Dillon agreed to return to the Green Bay Packers on a one-year deal. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Dillon, 25, has been mentioned as a potential target for the Cowboys in recent days, but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. Most expected Dillon to leave Green Bay this offseason, as did running mate Aaron Jones earlier this week. However, he and the team came to an agreement to stay, forming a strong running back duo with rookie Josh Jacobs.
The Cowboys are missing out on another running back. Other such running backs include Jones (Vikings), Derrick Henry (Ravens), Saquon Barkley (Eagles), Joe Mixon (Texans), and Zack Moss (Bengals).
