I\u2019m enthused about quite a few of the moves the Cowboys made on defense this offseason, including the decision to move up one spot and draft safety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/4870706\/caleb-downs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Caleb Downs<\/a> at No. 11. But when we consider the cost involved, there might not be a better move than signing Durant away from the Rams on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/48191596\/cb-cobie-durant-agrees-1-year-deal-cowboys-sources-say\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one-year deal<\/a> for about as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/2577417\/dak-prescott\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dak Prescott<\/a> makes per game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Durant isn\u2019t a superstar, and he has played behind some very good pass rushes in Los Angeles, but he has allowed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DuraDe01.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">74.3 passer rating<\/a> in coverage over the past four seasons. At 28, Durant should still be in the prime of his career. The Rams experimented with him in the slot at times, but he\u2019s best as an outside cornerback, where he\u2019ll start across from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/4248911\/daron-bland\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DaRon Bland<\/a> in 2026. Despite his modest deal, Durant should be a massive upgrade on what the Cowboys rolled out at CB last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Best: Signing Cobie Durant to a one-year, $4 million deal.
