The 30-year-old has extensive experience playing on the boundary and as a nickelback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fuller is the type of do-it-all player that teams covet in the secondary \u2014 his only problem is he turned 30 years old in February.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s still probably a better option right now than NFL All-Pro\u00a0Trevon Diggs, who is coming off his second ACL tear in 3 seasons, and rookie third round pick\u00a0Shavon Revel, who is less than one year removed from his own ACL injury.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas also lost cornerback\u00a0Jourdan Lewis\u00a0to free agency. Lewis, a 2017 third round pick, started 13 games for the Cowboys in 2024 and spent the first 8 seasons of his career in Dallas before he signed a 3-year, $30 million contract with the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars on March 10.<\/p>\n<h2>Fuller Cashed in Big After Winning Super Bowl<\/h2>\n<p>Fuller was a 2-time All-ACC selection and All-American at Virginia Tech before the Washington Commanders selected him in the third round (No. 84 overall) of the\u00a02016 NFL draft. He played 2 seasons with Washington before he was traded to the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0before the 2018 season.<\/p>\n<p>With the Chiefs, Fuller started 19 games over 2 seasons and became best known for making one of the biggest defensive plays in franchise history with a game-sealing interception in Super Bowl LIV\u00a0against the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n<p>Fuller cashed in big following the Super Bowl win and\u00a0returned to Washington\u00a0on a 4-year, $40 million contract in March 2020. He signed a 2-year, $15 million contract with the Dolphins in March 2024 but was released one year later to clear $2.941 million in salary cap space.<\/p>\n<p>Fuller matched his career high with 4 interceptions in 2020 in his first season back in Washington, which was also the last time the franchise made the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>For his career, Fuller has played in\u00a0128 games with 104 starts\u00a0and 16 interceptions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\">\n<h2>Cowboys Have Major Issues on Defense<\/h2>\n<p>To say the Cowboys are dealing with some big problems on defense might be putting it lightly.
