NFL Networks Tom Pelissero broke the news that DC Defender and 2025 UFL Champion Michael Ojemudia intends to sign with Dallas to help with depth as the team maneuvers through a slew of injuries at the cornerback position.
The veteran cornerback was selected in third-round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, and spent time with Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus while the pair were in Chicago in 2022.
The former Hawkeye played in all 16 games as a rookie and started 11 games for Denver. Injuries would limit him to just 10 regular season appearances form 2021 -2022 which led him to find refuge in the spring league.

Ojemudia played in nine games for the Defenders finishing with 20 total tackles, four pass break-ups and had one interception.
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs missed the final six games of the 2024 season with a knee injury, and has yet to practice with the team this offseason. Third-round pick Shavon Revel Jr. has also yet to make his debut as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in college.
CB’s Josh Butler and Caelon Carson are also dealing with injuries that may threaten their start of the upcoming season.
