Cowboys 2026 Cornerbacks: The Surprising Depth Chart Shake-Up No One Saw Coming

Shavon Revel Jr. – Dallas thinks they got a steal with Revel in the third round of last year’s draft, and now we find out if that’s true. If Revel can handle one of the starting spots on the outside, the Cowboys can pursue someone to handle either the other side or the slot and then deploy Bland as needed. Revel and Caelen Carson can also greatly help Dallas fiscally if they can play major snaps on cheap rookie deals.

Caelen Carson – Because of missed games and other defensive issues, we haven’t really seen what got everyone so excited about Carson during the 2024 training camp. He wouldn’t be the guy to get overhyped during the summer, but that’s not to say he can’t still deliver something in his third season. At the very least, Dallas sure could use him as a capable CB4 for depth.

Trikweze Bridges – Claimed off waivers after not making the Chargers’ roster, Bridges played a lot of snaps for Dallas as a backup and special teamer. He even started two games, getting an interception in Dallas’ otherwise awful loss to the Broncos. While only entering his second season, Bridges turns 26 in September. But he has good size at 6’2” and could be competitive for the bottom of the roster.

Zion Childress – One of last year’s camp/preseason darlings, Childress got poached from the practice squad by the Texans but was only gone for about a month. After being waived by Houston, Dallas immediately got him back in the fold. He returns for a second offseason and will likely see a lot of work as a slot candidate this summer.
