Cowboys 2026 Cornerbacks: The Surprising Depth Chart Shake-Up No One Saw Coming
Free Agents
Josh Butler (ERFA) – Butler was flashing upside in 2024 before an ACL ended his year and knocked him out for 2025 as well. He’s old for a prospect, turning 30 in November, but will be cheap to bring back as an exclusive rights free agent. He’ll likely get a minimal contract to compete for a depth spot.
Reddy Steward (ERFA) – After starting his career in 2024 with Matt Eberflus’ Bears defense, Steward got claimed off waivers last August to reunite with Dallas’ former defensive coordinator. He ended up in a big role after injuries and other CB issues, playing as the primary slot corner and starting five games. Steward is an Eberflus guy who we wouldn’t mind seeing again, and he’ll be easy to keep if the Cowboys want him.
Corey Ballentine – Signed to the practice squad mid-season and called up for a few games at the end of the year, it’s hard to gauge Ballentine’s chances of returning. Turning 30 in April doesn’t help, but you never know if Parker saw something he liked on film.
