"The only current DB who ever deserved that word next to his name was DaRon Bland, but that was back in 2023. Injuries and scheme changes have kept him from maintaining that status, leaving us waiting for others to emerge."
"Dallas made Thompson their highest-paid safety at $11 million per year, so they must feel pretty good about how he'll fit in the new defense. It's a little concerning that he's never been to a Pro Bowl in five years as a starter."
"The hope is that Thompson will now be the catalyst among Dallas' safeties, and the contract he received shows that Parker and the Cowboys are confident."

Current rankings reflect players' perceived talent relative to their roles, indicating some may be adequate in lower positions but concerning if given larger responsibilities.

The team invested in safety Thompson, indicating confidence in his fit within the new defense despite his lack of Pro Bowl appearances.
