The former Cowboys cornerback signed a three-year, $30 million contract with Jacksonville to bolster their struggling pass defense.

Jourdan Lewis has signed a three-year, $30 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including $20 million guaranteed.
This deal makes Lewis the highest-paid nickel cornerback in NFL history.
The Jaguars aim to improve their last-ranked pass defense from the 2024 season with this acquisition.
Lewis, who spent eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, posted a career-high 71 tackles in 2024, along with one sack, one interception, and eight passes defended.
The 30-year-old cornerback overcame a major foot injury in 2022 and has been a consistent performer since, missing only two games over the last two seasons.
