The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract with free agent cornerback Cobie Durant. Durant, 28, appeared in 17 games for the Los Angeles Rams last season, recording 40 combined tackles, 7 pass deflections, 3 interceptions, and a fumble recovery.

Why it matters

The Cowboys are looking to bolster their secondary after a disappointing 2025 season. Durant provides veteran experience and playmaking ability to a cornerback group that includes younger players like DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel Jr.

The details

Durant entered the league as a fourth-round pick by the Rams in 2022. Over his first four NFL seasons, he has recorded 7 interceptions, including 2 for touchdowns. The 5-foot-11, 181-pound cornerback will look to build on his strong 2025 campaign and help the Cowboys improve their pass defense.
