"New Cowboys safety Jalen Thompson: 'Wherever the coaches need me. I definitely see myself playing in the slot. Definitely see myself playing deep safety. Definitely see myself playing strong, free, wherever they need me at. And my film shows it. I'm ready to get it going.'"
"Last season, he played 15 games and finished with his lowest defensive completion percentage of his career - 62.3%. He allowed 38 catches on 61 targets and gave up three touchdowns."
"I really like this move, and it shows that Jerry Jones is legit trying to make this team better and not waiting around for all of these other guys to sign big deals and then go get whoever is left and that is a major stepping stone for him."
The Dallas Cowboys are in a transitional phase with free agency and the NFL draft approaching. Jalen Thompson, the most significant signing in over a decade, is expected to enhance the struggling secondary. Despite his past performance, including a low completion percentage and solid career stats, he has yet to make a Pro Bowl. The team is also considering drafting a cornerback to further strengthen the defense. The focus is on proactive improvements rather than waiting for other players to sign.
