The Cowboys are looking to lock down their players in the secondary long term.
The Cowboys signed Hooker in 2021 as he was coming back from a torn Achilles that limited him to just two games with the Indianapolis Colts in 2020. He signed a two-year extension in 2021, but the Cowboys took a proactive approach with a player whom defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has called the unit’s best tackler.
Hooker, a first-round draft pick by the Colts in 2017, started just six of 16 games last season but played 861 snaps, third most in the secondary behind Wilson and Diggs.
