5 Cornerbacks the Cowboys Must Sign to Replace Trevon Diggs

5. Darius Phillips

How about adding a corner while also hampering an NFC contender? Darius Phillips is on the Detroit Lions practice squad right now, though you probably know him best for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Phillips played five years from the Bengals from 2018 to 2021 before spending a season with the Broncos in 2022. 

He's been a spotty run defender with some tackling issues, but you can't be too picky with the cornerback market right now and his solid coverage skills make it worth overlooking other weaknesses.

The 2020 season was the last time he got significant run on the defensive side of the ball (playing a career-high 593 snaps), and that year also saw him earn a pretty respectable grade of 72.1 from PFF. 

He stifled opposing quarterbacks for a 51.7% completion percentage and 6.3 yards per attempt when they targeted him. He had some red zone issues (5 touchdowns allowed), but that low completion percentage certainly catches the eye.

None of these guys excite you? Fair enough, it's hard to get excited after losing a player as good as Diggs. But even if you're down on the 'Boys right now, it's worth backing them even if only for the $350 in bonuses you'll unlock.
