The Dallas Cowboys have signed cornerback Robert Rochell to bolster their defensive backfield, following a series of injuries last season. With Trevon Diggs recovering from knee surgery and rookie Shavon Revel Jr. still recovering from an ACL tear, Rochell, who previously played for the Green Bay Packers, is poised to make his mark as a special teams asset. Despite limited defensive action throughout his career since being drafted in the fourth round in 2021, Rochell's opportunity arises in a precarious situation for the Cowboys' secondary. The team also re-signed C.J. Goodwin, indicating their commitment to solidifying their depth in the defensive backfield ahead of training camp.

Defensive end DeVere Levelston, a former standout from DeSoto, will soon audition for the Dallas Cowboys following mandatory minicamp. Previously, he played for the UFL's Memphis Showboats, where he recorded 13 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 tackles for loss. Before that, he spent time on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad, having originally signed with them as an undrafted free agent from SMU. In his college career at SMU, he amassed impressive stats with 90 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. Other prospects auditioning include cornerbacks Robert Rochell and Jerry Jacobs, along with offensive tackle George Fant. The Cowboys have a notable history of players transitioning from spring leagues to the NFL, with examples like KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed cornerback Robert Rochell to a one-year deal, adding to their defensive back depth this offseason. Rochell, who previously played for the Green Bay Packers, is expected to bolster the secondary, especially following the addition of Kristian Fulton just last week.

Last season, Rochell featured in 11 games primarily on special teams, where he excelled. His previous tenure with the Los Angeles Rams saw him contribute in various roles, accumulating 25 tackles and one interception over his four-year career. The Chiefs' strategy to enhance their defense is clear, as they look to solidify their lineup ahead of the new season.

Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Robert Rochell has signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rochell's move marks a notable shift for the Packers, who have seen three cornerbacks depart in free agency, including Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine. The 27-year-old defensive back primarily contributed on special teams during his tenure in Green Bay, where he recorded six tackles and a fumble recovery over two seasons.

The Packers are likely entering a rebuilding phase in their secondary, especially with the potential loss of standout corner Jaire Alexander. To bolster their defensive lineup, Green Bay has already made a move by signing Nate Hobbs from the Las Vegas Raiders. The shift in personnel signals a transformation in the Packers' defensive strategy as they address their cornerback depth.
