"Thompson is an extremely productive player who has averaged over 100 tackles per season for the last five years. He's also a very sure tackler and has a missed tackle rate of no higher than 6% since 2021 and as low as 3.5% in 2022. Thompson is a durable player who has appeared in 79 out of a possible 85 regular-season games."
"As a true freshman, Thompson played in all 13 games for the Washington State Cougars, tallying 57 tackles and leading the team with seven pass breakups. For his efforts, he was named a freshman All-American. Thompson was even better in his next two seasons, recording 140 tackles and six interceptions in that span."
The Cowboys pursued an aggressive free agency strategy, acquiring defensive talent to address roster needs. They traded a 2027 fourth-round pick to Green Bay for edge rusher Rashan Gary and signed former Arizona Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson to a three-year, $36M deal. Thompson brings significant experience and production, having averaged over 100 tackles annually for five years with a missed tackle rate below 6%. He is durable, appearing in 79 of 85 possible regular-season games, and versatile in coverage. Thompson's background includes a standout college career at Washington State before entering the supplemental draft in 2019, where Arizona selected him in the fifth round.
