It was perhaps the biggest surprise the Cowboys have made so far this offseason, but Dallas opted to bring back cornerback Jourdan Lewis on a three-year deal worth up to $16.5 million. The other two defensive backs Dallas had drafted in 2017, Chidobe Awuzie and Xavier Woods, both found a new home in free agency. Lewis was expected to do the same, until he didn’t.
Out of those three, though, Lewis made the most sense. He was one of the Cowboys defenders who significantly picked up their level of play in the final few weeks of the season.
