Cornerback Jourdan Lewis is returning to the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal, making 2024 the eighth season he will play with the team. Lewis was drafted by Dallas in 2017 and has spent his entire career with the Cowboys, which included his initial rookie contract and a three-year extension that recently expired.
To announce his return, Lewis took to social media to post a common Vince Carter meme, which was the perfect way to notify the fan base that he was returning.
