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

18 views

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.
