Cowboys May Cut Former Highly Touted $7 Million 23-Year-Old, Says Insider

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph has underwhelmed since being selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft and the former Kentucky standout may be fighting for a roster spot heading into next season.

The Athletic’s Jon Machota noted that the Cowboys swinging a deal for star corner Stephon Gilmore means that Joseph may be fighting for a roster spot in training camp.

“Gilmore, Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis give the Cowboys a good combination of starting cornerbacks,” Machota wrote on March 20, 2023. “Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright could end up competing for one of the final roster spots.

“Nothing the Cowboys have done should prevent them from drafting another cornerback in the early rounds. Before the trade for Gilmore, it was one of the positions expected to be targeted at Pick 26. It still could be, but there’s not as much immediate need with Gilmore.”
