Examining the Cowboys' Cornerback Depth Ahead of OTAs

The Dallas Cowboys' DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs have been the league leaders in interceptions in two of the last three seasons. With Diggs returning from a torn ACL, the Cowboys might have the best cornerback duo in the NFL. But who will fill out the rest of the roster?

The Cowboys drafted Scott Jr. in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He did not receive any snaps in his rookie season, but the coaching staff is hoping Scott can break through in 2024. With the Cowboys drafting Carson and the return of Diggs, Scott will have to show significant improvement to crack the Cowboys roster.

CB8: Josh Butler

Butler was a standout player in the USFL and following a great preseason in 2023 Butler made a strong case to make the 53-man roster. Butler is certainly someone to watch for in the preseason and OTAs but he has quite a few corners currently in front of him.

The first five corners are locks for the Cowboys 53-man roster while Wright, Scott Jr. and Butler will be fighting for the last spot on the roster assuming the Cowboys only carry six cornerbacks. With a lot of uncertainty regarding the rest of the Cowboys roster this is atleast one aspect of the roster that is solidified with talent.
