On March 7th, the Dallas Cowboys are shifting focus to their secondary this off-season after missing out on a top-edge rusher. With safety as a key need beyond just past rushers, experts point to Chicago Bear standout, Jaquan Brisker, as a strong option in free agency to add. Toughness back there. Brisker, a second-round pick from Penn State in 2022, brings big-play potential. For his career, he averages around 112 tackles per full 17-game season, including 93 tackles, eight passes defended, and one pick last year. His strength lies in run support and delivering impact hits. Fans and analysts see this as a smart move for a Cowboys defense short on enforcers at every level. Pairing him with Malik Hooker could solidify the back end, addressing gaps that hurt them last season. The team has already cleared hurdles by restructuring contracts for Dak Prescott, CD-LAM, and Tyler Smith, flipping from $56 million.

Dollars over the cap, to about $9,700,000 available. More tweaks with players like Osa Odizua could open the door wider. As free agency heats up next week, Dallas appears positioned to chase upgrades like Brisker and build a more balanced unit heading into next ball.
