Inside the 2026 NFL Draft: Which 5 Playoff Hopefuls Face Surprising Challenges That Could Make or Break Their Season?
Of the four free-agent defensive backs the Cowboys signed this offseason, only safety Jalen Thompson earned a multi-year deal. Those moves, combined with returning cornerbacks DaRon Bland, Shavon Revel Jr. and Reddy Steward, also don’t inspire much confidence for the Dallas secondary in 2026 when looking at burn rate allowed, burn yards allowed per target and open rate allowed.

All six defensive backs have shortcomings, so the Cowboys would be best-served using one of their first-round picks at No. 12 or 20 for the secondary.
