Cowboys Sign CB Derion Kendrick for Secondary Boost

0:00On March 24th, the Dallas Cowboys quietly bolstered their secondary this week by signing cornerback Daryon Kendrick to a one-year contract. The 25-year-old joins from the Seattle Seahawks, where he played 10 games last season, adding Dev to a unit looking for reliable backups, heading into next year. Earlier in his career, Kendrick entered the league as a sixth-round pick with the Los Angeles Rams back in 2022. He started 18 games over his first two seasons there before an ACL injury sidelined him for the entire 2024-2025 campaign. He made a strong return, suiting up for five games with the Rams, and then 10 more with Seattle before getting released in November. Fans and analysts see this as a smart, low-risk addition for Dallas, bringing competition to the cornerback room amid ongoing roster tweaks. Kendrick's experience could help shore up vulnerabilities exposed last season, giving the Cowboys more options as they build toward training camp. Over 47 career games with 18 starts, he's tallied 102 combined tackles, 19 past deflections,

1:05and three interceptions. Including two from his time with the Seahawks. That track record positions him well to compete for snaps. With free agency winding down, moves like this keep Dallas flexible, and Kendrick now gets his shot to earn a bigger role during preseason action.
