As the 2024 NFL season approaches, there’s many questions in the Dallas Cowboys headquarters. When will the team re-sign CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons? Will the team sign Dak Prescott, and is that ankle okay? How will this running back room perform?

The only certainty is the Dallas Cowboys have the best cornerback room in all of the NFL.

The Cowboys switched defensive coordinators this offseason. Dan Quinn accepted a job as head coach of the Washington Commanders and Mike Zimmer has stepped into the same role he had earlier in his career.

Zimmer adapts an ideal situation in the secondary with insane cornerback depth.

Coming back from injury is All-Pro corner Trevon Diggs. Diggs took the league by storm with his 11 interceptions and 2 touchdowns in 2021. Becoming a takeaway machine, teams stopped throwing his way in 2022, where he still earned a selection for the Pro Bowl. Unfortunately, Diggs tore his ACL in the second game last season and missed the rest of the year. With excitement around what a duo of Trevon Diggs and Stephon Gilmore would be like, that reality became a nightmare.

In Diggs’ absence, we saw the emergence of DaRon Bland. The second-year corner made up for the absence of Diggs, intercepting nine balls and returning an NFL season-record 5 interceptions to the house for a touchdown. Bland’s rise made it possible for the Cowboys to evaluate other options when it came to the 2024 season.

Stephon Gilmore isn’t in the room right now. Gilmore remains a free agent and who knows if he will be picked up by the Cowboys or any other team before September. But with Diggs returning from injury and how Bland performed, the Cowboys could allot their financial resources elsewhere.

Not to mention, the Cowboys returned nickelback specialist Jourdan Lewis, keeping him away from the Commanders, who wanted Jourdan’s services because of his familiarity with Dan Quinn’s system. The Cowboys also spent a 5th-round selection on Caelen Carson from Wake Forest. Carson is a 6-foot corner at 22 years old, having the best situation to learn behind two elite corners, plus an experienced veteran like Lewis.

And this is all made possible by the leadership of Al Harris. The former Green Bay Packer has aided the growth of Diggs, Bland, and Lewis in this Cowboys secondary. Once known as a cakewalk for teams, is now a dreadful ship at sea for wide receivers. With a division hosting the duo of AJ Brown and Devonta Smith for the Eagles, Scary Terry for the Commanders, and rookie receiver Malik Nabers for the Giants, the Cowboys solidifying their secondary is the main reason the Cowboys can compete in these crucial divisional matchups.
