The Cowboys are making strategic moves to improve their secondary ahead of the approaching start of the National Football League (NFL). Among their plans is the signing of a cornerback who played a couple of years with the Denver Broncos, according to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero.
This will undoubtedly be one of the most striking news stories of the week for Jerry Jones‘ team, clearly after the issue of Micah Parsons, a name that has dominated the media for the star’s team, as he is one of the team’s most important defensive players and could be traded at any moment.
Cowboys sign Michael Ojemudia
“Veteran cornerback Michael Ojemudia, who most recently played for the DC Defenders of the United Football League (UFL), will sign with the #Cowboys, per a source. Back in the NFL,” NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported via his official X account.
Ojemudia played college football at Iowa before being drafted by Denver (2020). He has since spent time in the NFL with the Bears, Rams, and Cardinals, and will now join a competition in the Cowboys’ defensive backfield that will likely intensify as the season approaches.
