Dallas Cowboys: CB Jourdan Lewis

There is a new defensive coordinator (Mike Nolan) in Arlington and a lot of new players. So keeping a young talent like Jourdan Lewis is vital to a team that signed a lot of veterans to fill holes this offseason. In three seasons, he come up with four interceptions while knocking 17 passes and has also notched three fumble recoveries (1 TD).

Denver Broncos: LB Todd Davis

The Denver defense emerged after a slow start this past season and figures to be even better this year with veteran additions such as Jurrell Casey and A.J. Bouye. Linebacker Todd Davis has been a primary starter each of the past four seasons and has led the club with 114 and 134 tackles, respectively, each of the last two years.

Detroit Lions: T Taylor Decker

With the exception of the 2017 season in which he missed half of the Lions’ contests, former first-round pick Taylor Decker has been a pretty reliable performer for the Men from the Motor City. The former Ohio State Buckeye was the 16th overall pick in the 2016 draft and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him ink a new deal sooner than later.
