Although the Cowboys remain focused on Oxnard, they continue to make moves to create more depth where it takes. After the departure of Rashard Robinson, the organization was looking for the possibility of adding another cornerback to the dressing room. And they have succeeded, with the addition of Kyron Brown, who comes from the Jets.
Notably, the defensive back signed a two-year contract on Sunday afternoon. Where he will have the chance to fight for a roster spot during training sessions in California. In addition, it will be available to practice from Tuesday.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter arrived with the scoop yesterday afternoon, according to information from the player’s agent, Sam Leaf. Later the same organization would be the one that confirmed the news.

Kyron Brown’s case is extremely interesting. This is a cornerback that they did not select during the 2019 Draft. However, the Jets took him into account and signed him anyway. However, this was not all, as the player tried hard enough to end up being part of the New York team roster for that year. He ended up appearing in three meetings, of which he was a starter in one of them. In addition, he managed to add five solo tackles.
Sadly, a quadriceps injury left him out of the entire 2020 campaign, being part of the reserve / PUP list. Ultimately, the Jets would release him in May. So with this move, you will get a second chance at the Lone Star team.
After signing the player, the team finally has 90 players on its roster. And as for Brown, he will have to fight for a place in California like everyone else. Either way, the competition at the position is strong, with Trevon Diggs, Nahshon Wright, Kelvin Joseph, Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis, among others. In case he may not be in front of some other elements of this position, he could well be a player who generates depth between the cornerbacks. After all, space was opened up in the Jets’ locker room and it might as well do the same on the Dallas team.

At just 25 years old, Kyron has the huge advantage that he already has experience in the league and that he achieved a roster spot with hard work. These types of non-selected Draft agents are usually highly coveted thanks to the claw they have to overcome adversity.
Likewise, much has been said about the possible hiring of safety Malik Hooker. However, the former Colts player must perform the required health protocols in order to visit the facility. If in any case the organization also keeps the safety services, they will have to let go of some other element of the team. It will be the job of the coaching staff to make this decision.
The Dallas Cowboys are still looking to improve on a defense that left a very poor note last year. With the arrival of Dan Quinn as the new defensive coordinator, the team is looking to clean up its image and so far, there have been some very positive changes in California. Of course, with the arrival of Brown, as well as the possibility of eventually having Hooker, the defense will continue to equip itself, especially trying to get recoveries on the field of play.
