The Dallas Cowboys needed to address the cornerback position this offseason after allowing the most passing yards while recording the second-fewest interceptions last season and releasing Trevon Diggs in December. DaRon Bland underwent his second surgery on his left foot, addressing the fifth metatarsal bone, stemming from the stress fracture in 2024. Meanwhile, Shavon Revel Jr. aims to improve with a full offseason after missing spring workouts, training camp, and the first ten games of his rookie season while recovering from an ACL tear, and he was rusty upon returning.
