Cowboys Eyeing Brooks Trade for Middle Linebacker

0:00On March 20th, the Dallas Cowboys are exploring a trade for Miami-Dolphin's linebacker, Jordan Brooks, and all pro-defender who's made a big impact since, signing a three-year, $30 million deal in the 2024 off season. Brooks has excelled in run-defense, posting 143 tackles and three sacks that year, then stepping up even more last season with A. Leak High, 183 combined tackles and top grades from pro football focus. Experts highlight Brooks as a sideline to sideline force who rarely misses tackles, bringing the physicality Miami desperately needs. While the dolphins have let go of veterans before, moving him would hurt, especially as they chased their first playoff win in over 25 years. For the Cowboys, Brooks could fill a key gap in middle linebacker, allowing the Marvian overshown to roam freely without calling plays. Dallas lacks a proven option there right now. The team recently traded defensive tackle, Osa Odigizua, to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round pick, and they hold pick number, 92, which could help land Brooks before the draft.
