After agreeing to a 5-year, $97M contract with cornerback Trevon Diggs, the Dallas Cowboys agreed to another contract with one of their defensive backs. On Friday, the team announced they had agreed to a new contract with safety Malik Hooker. In recent years, the team hasn’t been known to place a hefty value on safeties, but under defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, that approach has changed. Earlier this offseason, the Cowboys re-signed fellow safety Donovan Wilson. Dallas signing Hooker indicates that the club believes heavily in Hooker and this secondary.
Cowboys’ safety Malik Hooker is signing a three-year contract extension worth up to $24 million that includes an $8 million signing bonus paid in the next next 15 days and $16.
