Free Style: Reddy Steward's versatility could give Cowboys depth at CB

Does he fit Parkers new system? I thought Stewart showed he was raw but also had some upside. Getting a DB whisperer can only help him. I hope he stays and gets a chance to get through TC and find out how good he could be.

Free Style: Reddy Steward's versatility could give Cowboys depth at CB
Feb 09, 2026

FRISCO, Texas – On March 9, the NFL's legal tampering period will begin for pending free agents.

The Cowboys will have their fair share of free agents on the roster, which of course they can agree to terms with and sign at any time before that period.

Throughout the season, Stewart proved that he was a reliable depth piece for the Cowboys at a multitude of positions. While it wasn't always great, Steward did what he was asked and was able to handle multiple responsibilities, plus is a willing tackler against the run.

In 2026, Bland will be coming off another surgery on his foot, which is concerning. Steward could be viewed as a valuable depth piece at the nickel corner spot for Dallas, who can also play on special teams and help in other areas of the secondary.

Steward is the one guy who I hear no one talk about but he earned playing time and played himself to a role

I just hope he's ready

It's hard to keep up with how many quality players we have.

Earned playing time? How could you not as a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025? Friggin Trikweze Bridges earned playing time and a role on a defense desperate for any corner who could play a little.

You really are a mess.

Really no reason to sing the praises of anyone from last years secondary

And in goes one egg into the hope basket. It's a good start at a position that could use a little hope, as long as they know that's nothing to bank on.

Steward struggled badly in the finale at New York but otherwise he looked like he had a decent season as the nickel corner.

Ideally he would be the team's 4th or 5th corner but he gained valuable experience last season. Can't wait to see what he looks like under Parker's defensive staff.

Steward can’t cover.

Are you trying to say giving up a competition rate of 86.5% isnt earning playing time?

You have to respect the way he carved a role in the defense.

Yes. You have to respect someone who gets right up after getting beat, and gets beat some more

If we're counting on Reddy Steward, we've already lost free agency.

He played 17 games. In comparison Elam who got traded for got cut. There is a mess here and it ain’t me.

 

[75boyz]

Well, I mean...
Last year some here were actually even talking up the additions of Elam, Sanborn and Murray.
And then tried to run and hide behind the Flus sucks and it's all scheme crap once they saw how far off they were in the assessment of "their guys."

Its that Jerry over rate your guys elixir he adds to the CowboyZone water cooler.

A lot here still drink from it so it don't surprise me to read about another scrub being praised honestly.

In 17 games he gave up 14 catches. I think you’re describing Bland and Diggs. At least Reddy tackles. Had more tackles behind the line of scrimmage then all of our linebackers.

Flus does sucked. Coincidentally I don’t recall Jerry hyping those guys up but I do remember him hyping up Eberflus.

He gave up 45 catchs on 54 targets per PFF

I saw nothing from him that would make him a difference maker
