The Dallas Cowboys are striving to have a remarkable year. After not succeeding last season, the team’s front office is making significant changes to the roster. They have now signed an elite cornerback to a lucrative 5-year deal to improve their defense.
Last year, Dallas was seen as a true candidate to win the Super Bowl LVII. However, they fell short from the expectations and were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional round.

Pressure is on the Dallas Cowboys nowadays. In recent years, they have been seen as one of the best teams in the league, but their performances have not lived up to those expectations.

The Cowboys reached an agreement with CB Trevon Diggs for a 5-year, $97 million contract extension that can become worth up to $104 million in incentives. NFL Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported the news on Tuesday.
