Talking about his impending free agency, Jourdan Lewis
Jourdan Lewis not yet focused on NFL free agency but wants to re-sign with Cowboys Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com
One of Dallas’ most reliable defenders wants to stay with the team that drafted him.
FRISCO, Texas — With the 2024 calendar year now in the history books and the regular season nearing its conclusion for the Dallas Cowboys, it’s impossible to quantify the impact of certain players in a year that was decimated by all manner of adversity, and Jordan Lewis is one such player.
Despite it all, the veteran cornerback has not only been a vocal mentor and leader within the locker room but also one of the best players on any side of the ball in Dallas — turning his one-year contract extension into a Pro Bowl-caliber campaign.
So it’s a no-brainer that the Cowboys want him to stay put when free agency arrives
“Jourdan’s just an uber competitor,” said executive vice president and director of player personnel Stephen Jones. “He’s a guy who’s out of contract, and obviously a guy that we want to have back on this football team.”
Lewis is, to this point in his career, a lifer with the Cowboys who has proven to be, well, coordinator-proof.
He’s not naive, though, which is to say Lewis knows what’s on the horizon and, as such, he’s not willing to play coy when it comes to where he’d like to play football next year, and possibly for the years that follow.
Lewis has only ever been acowboyy, and he hopes it can stay that way.
“Always,” he said. “Dallas is my home. My kids were born here. We’d love to have another season here, or a few seasons here. My wife loves it.
“But I know it’s a business, and we don’t know what the front office needs.”
The good news is the front office has already stated their intentions, and that one player they definitely need is Lewis.
