CB Offseason 2026

State of the Position: Surprisingly good.

Dax Hill and DJ Turner are two of the brightest young corners in the league. Both are just 26 and entering their final years. I am hopeful we can get a deal with both of them. Hill finally found his spot after bouncing around from safety to nickel. He was solid all year, but pretty spectacular at the outside corner. DJ Turner went from being benched to the best player on the defense. We have money to spend, and the corner can be a strength.

Jalen Davis took over at nickel corner late in the season and played fantastically as well. He’s back and on a very team-friendly league minimum deal. He will be in the mix in the slot.

Rounding out the returning roster are DJ Ivey and Josh Newton. Newton has had his ups and downs, being lauded for his professionalism and play in 2024 but having a down year in 2025. Ivey is still fighting for snaps, but has shown well in the few he has had. His role might be best shadowing tight ends.

Cam Taylor Britt is a free agent and destined for another team. He flashed early in his career but was exposed at times last year. Marco Wilson could be back, but after playing gust 22 snaps last year, it’s probably unlikely. He played just 30 special teams snaps.

Bralyn Lux was a college free agent last year, and the team is high on him. He played well in the preseason, and his PFF scores were great for the 19 snaps he played. He primarily played in the slot and could be an option there long term.

Jalen Kimber was signed to the practice squad this December after starting the year on the Bills practice squad after spending camp with the Titans.

Needs: In 365 days this position could be barren. As of now it’s loaded at the top and with potential. A veteran to pair with Davis in the slot and backup the two starters on the outside could be ideal.

The Candidates:

Kader Kohou was out all of last year with an ACL tear. He played 453 snaps in the slot and 187 outside in 2024 with 9 starts. He has 38 over his career. He is 27

Alontae Taylor might be out of our price range. He has 53 starts with 16 coming last year when he had 83 tackles, 7 for loss, 11 pass break ups and two interceptions. He’s split time inside and out.

Dee Alford has played primarily inside for the Falcons. He started seven of his 23 games last year. In 2025 he had 67 tackles, six for loss, 13 passes defensed and three interceptions. Last year he did play 143 snaps on the outside.

Amik Robertson is 28. His PF scores were atrocious but were better last year. In 2025 he had 52 tackles, 12 passes defensed and one interception. He’s played more outside than in over his 35 career starts.

Noah Igbinoghene is just 26. He has 17 career starts. Last year he started two games. He played for Charles Burks in Miami. While he’s played mostly slot over the last few years he played outside early in his career.

Of this group I think that Kader makes the most sense. He is coming off an ACL he tore in July, is still very young with upside and has played inside and out.
