The Cowboys said goodbye to top cornerback Byron Jones last season when he signed with the Dolphins as a free agent this offseason and saluted the new coaching staff created by head coach Mike McCarthy.

Mike Nolan will lead McCarthy’s defense and Jourdan Lewis told him the message that he sent to him and to the cornerbacks who remain with the club in 2020. The central part of this was that what happened in the past will not determine who plays what role in the future.

“They said everyone has a clean slate,” said Lewis, via the team’s website. “It doesn’t matter how big, tall, how long you’ve been here, it doesn’t matter. If you can play ball, they want to see you in that position to compete for that job. “

Lewis, Chidobe Awuzie and Anthony Brown are last year’s remnants with Brown returning from a torn triceps ending the season. The Cowboys selected Trevon Diggs and Reggie Robinson to join free agents Maurice Canady and Daryl Worley as those trying to impress the new men in charge in Dallas.
