The Dallas Cowboys secondary took a significant hit when news broke Monday, the first day of legal tampering for free agency, that the Jacksonville Jaguars made Jourdan Lewis the highest-paid nickel cornerback in the NFL.
It’s a whopping 3-year/$30M deal for CB Jourdan Lewis and the Jacksonville Jaguars for him to become the highest-paid nickel in the NFL.
Well deserved for a player that quietly played his best football last season.
