Cowboys Eye Wagner for Linebacker Spot

0:00On March 23rd, the Dallas Cowboys keep facing heat over their linebacker spot until they snag a solid free agent there. Right now, veteran Bobby Wagner, from the Washington commanders, stands out as a name on the market. He's a 10-time pro-bola pushing 36 years old in June and eyeing his 15th NFL season next year. Experts like those at Bleacher Report point out Wagner's age makes him a better fit for teams chasing the Super Bowl run. Think the Los Angeles Rams, who had him back in 2022. For Dallas though, it might not fix their depth issues on defense the way fans hope. Wagner still showed up big last season with the commanders, even after their tough year. He racked up 162 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and two picks in 17 games. His smarts on the field and tackling standout, earning respect, league-wide. That said, analysts argue the Cowboys need someone younger, or higher impact, to quiet the critics. Landing an aging star like Wagner, probably won't shift the opinions much in Dallas.
