DESCRIPTION
FRISCO, Texas – When the Cowboys completed their NFL Draft a month ago, it was obvious what type of player they were looking for, especially on defense. Whether it was 6-4 cornerback Nahshon Wright and his length, or sixth-round tackle Quinton Bohanna and his 330-pound frame, it's clear the Cowboys are looking for size and length in helping reshape this defense. But more than anything, they're looking for playmakers. That's exactly how Jourdan Lewis describes himself and it's how the Cowboys view the four-year veteran cornerback as well. Lewis, who is 5-10, 186, knows he's not the tallest or biggest player, even in the secondary room, that hasn't stopped him from producing on the field. Let's not forget, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn had already been hired in March when the Cowboys decided to re-sign Lewis to a three-year contract. As Lewis recalled the free-agent process back in March, it sounds like Quinn and head coach Mike McCarthy have a plan for him. "I hit the market, and after that year I just wasn't too sure," Lewis said. "And we didn't have our DC come back, so it was up in the air. They hit me up and said 'We'd love to have you back, we've got some things for you to do,' and I was like 'I'm for it.'" So what's the plan exactly? "Just move me around and make plays, honestly," Lewis said after an OTA practice. "They saw I had the ability to do so, and they wanted me to come back, and they felt like I had some unfinished business." Lewis signed a three-year, $16.5 million contract, a deal that will likely secure a significant role on the defense, most likely as the nickel corner. "Yeah. I'm going to be in the box," Lewis said. "I'm going to be able to make plays around the field and move around the field. It's going to be cool. But at the same time, you've still got some unfinished business to do. It's amazing to have the financial freedom to do what you want, but at the same time you still have to produce on the field." Last season, Lewis didn't record an interception for the first time in his career, but he had his fourth fumble recovery. Last season, McCarthy talked about Lewis "finding the ball" on numerous occasions and that's one of the main reasons they decided to bring him back. Kearse has been in the NFL for a while at this point, having been drafted by Minnesota back in 2016 before signing a one-year deal with Detroit in 2020. He also played his college career at perennial power Clemson and had a decorated high school career in Florida. It makes plenty of sense if he's familiar with a lot of the Cowboys' veteran players. He also played under defensive assistant George Edwards during his time with the Vikings, adding another connection to the mix.. At the same time, Kearse is part of some serious turnover on the back end of the defense. The trio of Kearse, Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee all signed within weeks of each other this year, giving the Cowboys 14 combined years and 184 games of NFL experience.
