Derion Kendrick Joins Cowboys After Rams Release

0:00On March 24th, former Rand's cornerback, Darion Kendrick, is signing a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, his agent confirmed. The sixth round pick from Georgia back in 2022 spent his first three seasons with Los Angeles, showing flashes of promise early on. He started six gains as a rookie and twelve the next year, but inconsistency and penalties held him back. Even a torn ACL sidelined him for all of 2024, putting his spot on the roster in jeopardy. Last season, the Rams waved him at final cuts. Seattle picked him up for ten gains before letting him go, and he returned to Los Angeles in week fourteen for five more appearances, though he stayed. Off the playoff active roster. The Rams have shifted gears at cornerback this all season, bringing in Tret McDuffy and Jalen Watson to anchor a fresh secondary heading into twenty-six. Now Kendrick gets a new shot in Dallas, where he could carve out a role on a team always hunting for depth in the defensive backfield.
