The 2009 season presents two strong options at the cornerback position for the Dallas Cowboys.  Scenario one would be to move the aging Anthony Henry to free safety (a position he tinkered with in college), move Ken “The Hammer” Hamlin back to his natural position at strong safety and cut Roy “Superman” Williams.

Keep in mind we also have comp. draft picks not yet accounted for in this mock.
