The Dallas Cowboys entered this offseason with questions at the cornerback position. Jourdan Lewis got a well-deserved bag from the Jaguars in free agency, leaving a hole in the slot in Dallas. That, combined with Trevon Diggs’ unclear timeline for recovery from a season-ending knee injury, left the Cowboys needing to find potentially two starters for Week 1 at least.
In a reversal of their usual tactics, Dallas was aggressive in trying to fill the void. They traded for Kaiir Elam, a former first-round pick of the Bills, and re-signed Israel Mukuamu, a college corner who has mostly played safety with the Cowboys.
