Cowboys Eye Taron Johnson for Slot Corner

0:00On March 7th, the Dallas Cowboys need help at slot corner. After owner Jerry Jones admitted they made a mistake, letting Jordan Lewis walk in free. Agency, their new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, knows how key that position is for a strong defense. On Friday, the Buffalo Bills released better in Terran Johnson and all pro who could fill the gap perfectly. Johnson joined the Bills as a fourth round pick in 2018 for Mabel State. Over the years, he started 87 of 113 games and earned a 3-year contract extension worth 30,700. $50,000 with nearly 18 million guaranteed. Players like Aaron Rogers have praised Johnson as one of the league's most underrated talents for his skills and coverage and stopping the run. Buffalo used him in nickel packages constantly, highlighting his versatility across the defense. Lately, Johnson's performance dipped according to player grades in 2024 and 2025. That plus the Bills firing their head coach led to his release.
