One of the multiple defensive positions the Dallas Cowboys need to address this offseason is inside linebacker. The failed Logan Wilson and Kenneth Murray experiments have left the Cowboys with a need alongside DeMarvion Overshown, who is a question mark in and of himself because of his shaky injury history.<\/p>\n

Not only do the Cowboys need a starting-caliber player, they also need someone who can wear the green dot and be the quarterback of the defense.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dave Helman of The Athletic has proposed a trade between the Cowboys and Miami Dolphins that he believes would provide the answer at linebacker Dallas needs. The proposal sees Dallas give up its third-round pick (No. 92) for Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s David Helman\u2019s draft, we\u2019re sending 92 to Miami for Jordyn Brooks,\u201d he said on 105.3 The Fan. \u201cThat\u2019s No. 1. Let\u2019s just get that out of the way. And if we gotta throw in some change, that\u2019s fine. Let\u2019s go get a ready-made bad***. Jordyn Brooks was so good for Miami last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brooks was a first-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2020 but really came into his own over the last two years in Miami. In 2025, Brooks posted a league-high 183 tackles along with 3.5 sacks, four QB hits, 3 tackles for loss and three passes defensed en route to his first All-Pro nod.<\/p>\n

According to Pro Football Focus, Brooks ranked 10th among all linebackers in overall grade, third in run-defense grade and 11th in pass-rush grade. One area he didn\u2019t have much success in was in coverage, but he more than made up for that in other areas.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Dolphins are in the midst of what should be a lengthy rebuild after the team decided to tear it all down this offseason. Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill were cut, and Miami even traded away Jaylen Waddle, who was previously thought to be nearly untouchable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brooks will turn 29 later this year and only has two more years left on his deal. It would make sense for the Dolphins to try and grab themselves another draft pick by selling high on Brooks.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Miami Herald\u2019s Omar Kelly believes the Dolphins may at least consider trading Brooks, and he even pointed to the Cowboys as a team that could come calling.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, if a team offers the right price or the right package, maybe,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cDallas has a lot of things going on, so you can\u2019t sit there and project what they\u2019re going to do. They\u2019re trying to get up high so they can get one of those pass rushers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Brooks would provide a much-needed veteran and stabilizing force up the middle for the Cowboys next to Overshown. Brooks\u2019 prowess against the run and as a pass-rusher is especially intriguing because Dallas ranked tied for 22nd in sacks and 23rd against the run in 2025.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adding to that, Brooks was a great leader on Miami\u2019s defense and assumed the green dot role, so he checks that box for Dallas, as well.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Giving up a third-rounder for Brooks would knock off one pick from the Cowboys\u2019 2026 stable and create a massive gap between their first-round picks and fourth-rounder, as the Cowboys don\u2019t have a second-round pick.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not a big issue because the Cowboys were likely going to use one of their picks on a linebacker, anyway, and in this case a trade for Brooks gives the Cowboys a much more sure solution at one of its biggest positions of need.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Adding to that, Dallas would no longer need to draft a linebacker with Brooks locked in for two more seasons. Dallas can then focus more on edge rusher, cornerback, safety and other positions, and not needing a linebacker offers more flexibility to trade back in the first round to potentially acquire a Day 2 pick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There really is no good reason why the Cowboys shouldn\u2019t make a trade for Brooks if the opportunity is out there. Now, the Cowboys just need said opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
