NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Cowboys Miss Out on Linebacker, Raiders Gain. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
With the NFL today, March 10th, the Dallas Cowboys got busy early in free agency, trading a 2027 fourth-round pick to Green Bay for edge rusher, Rashan Gary, and Signing, Safety, Jalen Thompson from Arizona. They nearly added linebacker Nikopy Dean too, but the 25-year-old former eagle chose the Las Vegas Raiders instead on a three-year deal worth, $36 million. Dallas was right there in the bidding with a similar offer, and Dean even said he could picture himself on either team. In the end though, he followed his gut by the slimest margin, reportedly 51-49. Cowboys fans might find this hard to accept, given the team's top facilities, massive spotlight, no-state income tax in Texas, and recent success with, 3-12 win seasons in five years. The Raiders have only hit that mark once this century, making the choice staying even more. Reports suggest it boiled down to vibes over everything else, maybe a reunion with a college
teammate, or something about the new Raiders staff-like. Head coach Clint Kubiak or Tom Brady's involvement, exact details on what tipped the scale remain unclear. Dallas now keeps hunting for a key linebacker to bolster their defense ahead of a superbow push, while Dean heads to Vegas. This episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor.
