Despite all of their moves, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox is of the opinion the Cowboys should make one more addition to their linebackers room by signing Bobby Wagner.
“At this stage in his career, Wagner would make the most sense for a team seeking both talent and experience on its defense and with enough overall talent to make a strong push for the postseason,” Knox wrote.
“Logical Landing Spots: Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars,” Knox added.
Cowboys’ current situation at linebacker
The Cowboys had a dire situation at the position going into the offseason, but things have improved since then.
Dallas traded for Dee Winters before opting to select Jaishawn Barham in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and those two join a linebackers room that also includes both DeMarvion Overshown and Shemar James.
While that should be an adequate group, there are questions about each player in it. Overshown has been plagued by injury during his career, Barham and James are unproven and Winters amounts to an OK but not great starting option.
If there’s one position group that could use a final piece to put it over the top, it’s linebacker.
