The Cowboys special teams unit is hanging onto its ace.

The cornerback who plays mostly in the third phase of the game for coordinator John Fassel will return to Dallas in 2024 on a one-year deal, as reported Thursday by ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

It will be the seventh year on the Cowboys’ roster for Goodwin, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and bounced around on six different squads before landing with Dallas in 2018.

Goodwin played well to start 2023, getting in on over 70% of the Cowboys’ special teams snaps in each of the first four games of the season, until a pectoral injury suffered in the Week 5 loss to San Francisco ended his season.
