Cowboys Eyeing Wagner for Linebacker Boost

About this episode

The Dallas Cowboys are considering a move to sign free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner, who recently finished with their NFC East rivals, the Washington Commanders. The thirty-five-year-old veteran could bring valuable experience and smarts to the Cowboys defense, which struggled last season with just seven wins, nine losses, and one tie. Defensive coordinator candidate Matt Schottenheimer, who coached with Wagner in Seattle, highly recommends him. While no deal is set yet, the Cowboys might make a strong push for Wagner, who could stabilize their defense and potentially turn things around for next season.

It's March 31st. This is NFL News Today Football coverage powered by AI. The Dallas Cowboys are hunting for linebacker upgrades after rough season, and free agent Bobby Wagner is popping up as a prime target. The 35-year-old just finished with NFC East rivals, the Washington commanders, and could bring veteran smarts to Dallas as they gear up for. The 2026 NFL Draft. Earlier this week, talk show host Kate Adams floated the idea, pointing out how the Cowboys have chased inside linebackers before, without landing the right fit. Their defense needs that proven edge to bounce back from last year's seven wins, nine losses in one tie, which left them second in the division. Defensive coordinator candidate Matt Shottenheimer, who coached with Wagner in Seattle, is all in on the guy. He called Wagner a total stud, still playing at an elite level, praising his compete drive and that fun trash talk on the field. No deal is set yet, but with free agency heating up, Dallas might make a strong push.

Wagner's experience could stabilize things quick. Keep an eye on this one. Cowboys fans could be the move that flips the script for next season.
