| 3/14/24 | The Cowboys have annoyed fans with another slow start to free agency. They trust their approach. Executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones is steadfast in communicating the organization's belief in avoiding big-money deals for free agents, regardless of where the team is with the salary cap. “I've always been of the ilk that in these first couple of days of free agency, you pay good players like they're great, you pay average players like they're good and so on and so forth,” Jones said Thursday. The Cowboys made two smaller moves Thursday by re-signing cornerback Jourdan Lewis and agreeing to terms with special teams ace C.J. Goodwin.

| 8/26/21 | 2021 is a test of the special teams impact on the Cowboys roster. One thing that has been something of a constant over the past few years is there always being a few names that wind up on the team due to the role they have on special teams. We all know about C.J. Goodwin, but given that ST play can account for around 15 to 20% of all snaps during a game, the team has to have more than just him. Backups are preferred for this role to keep from risking starters in these plays. Source: https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2021/8/26/22641374... |
| 6/16/21 | Cowboys news: Special teams are important, and C.J. Goodwin is a key cog in the Cowboys plans. Goodwin seems to find other ways to make big plays on special teams, whether it’s downing the ball inside the 10-yard line on punt coverage, or even coming up with a big return like he did against the Steelers, flipping the field on a 73-yard return. But his biggest play was obviously the recovery of the “watermelon” kick that traveled exactly 10 yards before Goodwin pounced on it to give the Cowboys possession.
