His 2024 campaign saw him put up career-best numbers in tackles as he started 13 games for the Cowboys and appeared in 16 contest while operating primarily as a nickel.
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Lewis joins a Jacksonville secondary that struggled last season. The Jaguars were among the worst-rated passing defenses in the league and after the reported release of Ronald Darby last week, the defensive back room was bare.
