Cowboys Land Wagner, Boost Defense

0:00It's March 30, Dallas News. Today starts now. AI powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. Dallas Cowboys are hurting at linebacker heading into the offseason, and their main guy, Demarvian Overshone, has already dealt with two big injuries. Early in his career, that leaves them thin, but here's a solid fix still out there in free agency, veteran Bobby Wagner. The Cowboys defense was the least worse than stopping points last season, even after swapping coordinators and adding some depth. They need a real boost, and Wagner fits right in without breaking the bank. CVS Sports, just named Dallas as a top landing spot for the 35-year-old former Washington commander. Experts see it as a no-brainer to shore up their weaknesses fast. Wagner proved he still elite in 2025, with 162 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two picks, and top grades from Pro. Football focus fifth in run defense at 90.3, and second in pass rush at 92.4. Coverage isn't his strength, but Overshone can pick up that slack.

1:03SpotTrack pegs a one-year deal at $7.6 million, a steal for what he brings. If Jerry Jones pulls the trigger, it could flip the script on that defense quick.
