Cowboys on Verge of Adding Deep Ball Hunter CB With 4.39s Speed Pending Medicals

The Dallas Cowboys are moving quickly to address their secondary. According to multiple reports, the team has agreed to terms with a high-profile cornerback, pending the completion of standard medical evaluations this week.

 

The move comes as Dallas continues searching for stability on the back end of its defense. Injuries and inconsistency have forced the Cowboys to look for experienced help to pair with Trevon Diggs in coverage.

 

That help is expected to arrive in the form of Asante Samuel Jr., a proven playmaker who has emerged as one of the NFL’s most opportunistic corners in recent seasons. His arrival would mark a major defensive boost.

Samuel Jr. is coming off a year in which he recorded four interceptions and 11 passes defended, showcasing his ability to track the ball and shut down opposing receivers. His skillset adds versatility to Dan Quinn’s defensive scheme.

 

Pending his medicals, Samuel Jr. is set to finalize the deal in the coming days. The Cowboys would then officially announce his signing ahead of their Week 6 preparation schedule.

For Dallas, the timing is crucial. Defensive struggles have been a talking point since Micah Parsons’ departure, and bolstering the secondary could help shift momentum in their playoff push.

Fans have already expressed excitement online, noting Samuel Jr.’s ball-hawking skills and his ability to bring swagger to the Cowboys’ defense. Expectations are high that he will deliver right away.

 

If the move becomes official, it signals that Jerry Jones is determined to reinforce the roster and keep Dallas in the NFC playoff race with a proven veteran in the secondary.

(Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
