The Dallas Cowboys HAVE TO address this position in free agency

Mauricio Rodriguez discusses one position the Dallas Cowboys have to address during free agency.

Transcript

00:00So the Dallas Cowboys knit at this position has gotten so bad that I believe the Cowboys

00:04do not have a choice and they need to sign somebody in the next few days to try and save

00:12Hey what's up everyone it's Mauricio Rodriguez here at ADZ Sports Dallas

00:16on the road. We are talking Cowboys free agency because really the Cowboys have not done much

00:21but they really have let us know where things are headed. Once again they're not going to be

00:26big spenders. Once again they're going to head into the NFL draft with plenty of needs because

00:32as Jerry Jones warned us they do not see free agency as a place to fill voids which is still

00:40one week later a ridiculous statement to hear about. But the Cowboys have made some signings

00:45they added some offensive line depth in Rob Jones who is unlikely to start. They also added Solomon

00:50Thomas who is not going to start because of Oza Odigisua. They added Javonte Williams who has

00:56not averaged over four yards per carry since his rookie season or you can count the second year as

01:01well where he only played four games and they also signed Peyton Turner defensive end from the New

01:07Orleans Saints who is likely going to be another depth piece for the defense. Really the most

01:12impactful decisions the Cowboys have made so far have been those about players that they're not

01:18going to keep around. Rico Doudle comes to mind it's not official but with Javonte Williams arriving

01:23to the team Rico is likely going to play elsewhere 2025. They also did not retain Chauncey Goldston

01:30who kind of makes the Peyton Turner signing feel like a very underwhelming piece of news because

01:36you're downgrading at the end of the day. But mostly it is the loss of Jordan Lewis that is

01:42keeping me awake at night. Jordan Lewis will become the highest paid nickel cornerback in the NFL by

01:48the Jacksonville Jaguars but it's a deal the Cowboys could have made work if they really wanted

01:53to. And losing Lewis really takes the need for cornerbacks to a whole different level. Think

02:00about it this way if a game was to be played today by the Dallas Cowboys they would have one of their

02:06three starters from last year on the field and I'm talking about the Ron Bland. And sure I say that

02:12because Jordan Lewis is obviously headed elsewhere but I mean that because Trevon Diggs might not be

02:16ready to go week one. And you know how these things go in the NFL. Trevon Diggs is likely going to start

02:22on Pup best case scenario and he's going to miss four football games. That is enough to put you

02:28behind and cost you a postseason trip and we just saw that from the Cowboys last year. Chances are

02:35Bland is going to be joined by second year cornerback Kaelin Carson who sure is a promising

02:41rookie was drafted in the fifth round but it's still a massive question mark if he can start in

02:46the NFL this early in his career. And if you ask me who's going to be the third cornerback I don't

02:53have a clue. I'm looking at the list right now and I mean this when I say this it's only Kimon Hall

02:59and Josh Butler right now at the position that's it. And sure you could hope somebody is there at

03:0512th overall that could solve this problem but you're also hoping that for the running back

03:10position and the wide receiver position and offensive line and you cannot do everything in

03:15the NFL draft it's it's the reality. Fortunately for the Cowboys is that Russell Douglas is still

03:21out there and he would be a quality addition though a little bit more expensive. There's also

03:26Stephon Gilmore, Kendall Fuller, Asante Samuel Jr. Those are some of the top three agents available

03:33at the cornerback position and I think one of these guys he has to head to Dallas because the Cowboys

03:39they just cannot afford to work with what they've got so far. It's a passing league it's a league

03:44where you're always going to be in nickel pretty much. Three wide receivers is the base offense

03:49in the league and as such you got to have three corners on the other side. This has to happen and

03:53it has to happen quick.
