If the Dallas Cowboys are looking to bolster their linebacking corps in NFL free agency, the answer could be within the NFC East.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Washington<\/div>\n
\n

With just one more game until the 2024-25\u00a0NFL\u00a0season is in the books for the entire league, the free agency rumors and speculation are ramping up.<\/p>\n

For the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys, that means being named as potential suitors for several high-profile players.<\/p>\n

Luckily for Dallas, one major area of need has a player who has been named an \u201cideal\u201d fit in Big D.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0PFF\u2019s Jonathan Macri, the Cowboys could have their answer at linebacker within the division if starting linebacker Eric Kendricks decides to move on in free agency.<\/p>\n

That player is none other than six-time All-Pro Bobby Wagner, who spent the past season with the Washington Commanders, starting in all 17 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith\u00a0Eric Kendricks\u00a0potentially departing in free agency, Wagner stands out as another strong veteran leader that the Cowboys can bring in to replace him this offseason,\u201d Macri wrote. \u201cWagner is reaching the end of his NFL career and likely hopes to join a roster that will compete in 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIdeally, the Cowboys can be aggressive enough in free agency, which includes adding him to the lineup, that they can deliver on that potential.\u00a0DeMarvion Overshown\u00a0looked like a great long-term option for Dallas this past season, but another significant injury puts his 2025 at risk and creates a need for a one-year linebacker to come in and hold things down until he can get healthy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Last season, recorded 132 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n

Not only would Wagner provide a solid and reliable player at the position, he would bring a veteran presence to help mentor the younger players like Overshown.<\/p>\n

Whichever way the Cowboys turn remains to be seen, but there will be plenty of options for Dallas at positions of need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
