Cowboys Eye Bobby Okereke for Middle Linebacker

About this episode

Dallas Cowboys defense needs a boost, particularly at inside linebacker. Theyve made moves to improve the defense but still lack a steady presence at the position. Bleacher Reports Gary Davenport suggests chasing free agent Bobby Okereke, a seasoned player with experience calling plays and a deep understanding of the Cowboys offense. Okereke could be the missing piece to strengthen the defense, but the Cowboys may wait for the draft before making a move.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones vowed to overhaul that leaky defense this all-season, and they made some moves, grabbing edge-rusher Rashan Gary and safety. Jalen Thompson plus a couple underrated pieces like safety, PJ Lock and Cornerback Kobe Durand. That said, inside linebacker stays a glaring hole. They are down to Demarvian overshown, She-Mar James, and Justin Barron after shifting Mars Lufall to the edge, leaving the position thinner than ever. Bleacher reports Gary Davenport is pushing for them to chase free agent Bobby Ocaricchi, the 29-year-old former Jalen standout with seven. Years of pro ball, 95 starts, and four seasons over 130 tackles, including 143 last year. Ocaricchi wore the green.helmet pliny, calling plays like a vet, and got cut by New York after a coaching shake-up. The Cowboys know him inside out for matchups, and even practice reps, when their offensive

coordinator faced him back with the Colts. They will probably hold off until after the 2026 draft to see if a rookie plugs the gap. But if not, Ocaricchi could be the steady hand to. Lock down that middle and boost the whole union. Stay informed, with Dallas News Today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with the story.
