The Dallas Cowboys are re-signing cornerback Jourdan Lewis to a one-year, fully guaranteed deal, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. Lewis played the third-most snaps at cornerback for Dallas last season, behind DaRon Bland and Stephon Gilmore. Over seven seasons with the organization, Lewis has posted 315 tackles, 8.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries, nine interceptions, and 36 passes defended in 99 games. With Gilmore likely headed elsewhere in free agency and Trevon Diggs (knee) recovering from a torn ACL, new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer will need Lewis at his best early on in the 2024 season.

The 27-year-old is one of the more experienced slot corners on the team, so this is a blow to Dallas' secondary the rest of the way.

Lewis has appeared in 61 of 66 possible games during the course of his career, but he's made just 26 starts since entering the league in 2017. Injuries to Chidobe Awuzie and Anthony Brown forced him into the lineup more often last season, as he made 13 starts while recording 59 tackles, two pass breakups and two sacks in 2020. Lewis did the vast majority of his work out of the slot, although he did play the boundary at Michigan, where he was an All-American. He gives the Cowboys some veteran depth in their secondary. Lewis and Brown, combined with Trevon Diggs, gives the Cowboys three experienced starters.
