Cowboys' Edge Rusher Need Met with Bain

0:00On April 19th, the Dallas Cowboys are dead set on fixing their defense, heading into 2026 after a nightmare of 2025 season. They ranked top 10 in pressure rate, but led up the most passing touchdowns under pressure ever tracked, fired their defensive coordinator after one year, traded away Micah Parsons, and still need edge rush help big time. This off season, they grabbed Otito Albania, Jalen Thompson and Kobe DeRan in free agency, and less traded for Rashan Gary from Green Bay. Gary and Donovan as they Rewaku are penciled in as starters, with James Houston and Sam Williams as top backups. But everyone knows they got a draft and edge early to compete with that Prescott's window. Fans and analysts are buzzing because the Cowboys pressure wasn't turning into stops last year. That weak spot killed them, and now the pressure's on to build a unit that actually finishes place. CBS Sports's Douglas Clawson just mocked Rubin Bain Jr. from Miami as their perfect first-round pick.

1:00Kid dominated college with 54 tackles, 15.5 for loss, 9.5 sacks over 16 games. Led Miami to the title game, snagged first team all-American honors. Bain posted more pressures than anyone since records started in 2017, including 83 total and 24 and 4 playoff games. Alone. He'd slide right in, turn those pressures into sacks, and give Dallas the rush they crave to chase a ring.
