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.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
