Trevon Diggs, the two-time Pro Bowler and interceptions leader in 2021, had been unceremoniously cut before the end of the season. DaRon Bland, who had a record five pick-sizes in 2023, missed 10 games the next year and another five in 2025. Caelen Carson? Still proving himself. Shavon Revel? Promising but basically still a rookie. Josh Butler, Reddy Steward, Corey Ballentine, and Trikweze Bridges? Fine depth, but not enough to scare opposing air attacks.

Now nearing the end of a pre-draft cycle that has seen heavy buzz around LSU’s Mansoor Delane, Clemson’s Avieon Terrell, and Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy and Colton Hood all being possible targets in Dallas, a new name has entered the chat with just two weeks to go before the commissioner starts giving out bro-hugs on stage in Pittsburgh.
South Carolina corner Brandon Cisse visited with the Cowboys on Tuesday, as reported by ESPN’s Jordan Reid. The meeting counts as one of the Cowboys’ official 30 pre-draft visits. The team also formally met with him at the scouting combine in Indianapolis in February.
