0:00On March 9th, the Dallas Cowboys just made a big move to shore up their secondary by agreeing to terms with safety Jalen Thompson. It's a three-year deal, worth $36 million. Locked in during the NFL's legal tampering window that opened on Monday. Official signing comes Wednesday, but the handshake is already done. Thompson spent all seven of his NFL seasons with Arizona, and he'll turn 28 this off season. He brings versatility that fits perfectly into the Cowboys' new defensive scheme under coordinator Christian Parker. Plus, he knows the ropes with the team's new secondary coach, Ryan Smith, from their Arizona days together. Fans and analysts are buzzing about this pickup as it fills a glaring hole at safety. The Cowboys clearly prioritize the back end, and pairing Thompson with the rest of the unit looks promising. His skills should add stability right away. Meanwhile, Dallas restructured Malik Hooker's contract on Monday morning, locking him in for the future. This shows they're committed to building depth across the defense, even as other needs linger.
