Overshown missed his entire rookie season in 2023 and played only five games last season because of injury. However, he still has potential to be one of the league\u2019s top off-ball linebackers. The Cowboys could extend him now for a lot less than it will cost in a few months if Overshown has a strong 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">The other starting linebacker, Dee Winters, is also going to be a free agent after 2026, so it would be good to sign one of them long term. Obviously, an extension for Overshown takes a risk that the player deals with injury again or simply isn\u2019t as good as the expectations. However, it\u2019s an investment in the Cowboys\u2019 future if he does play up to his potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Cowboys Extend linebacker DeMarvion Overshown This is not about rewarding a player who has excelled on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[21151,349,99],"class_list":["post-717577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-dallas-cowboys-roster","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
