Cowboys Target Brooks for Linebacker Boost

0:00On March 24, the Dallas Cowboys are hunting for linebacker help through trades, with two names popping up often, Jordan Brooks and Aziz Alshau. Brooks stands out as the steadier option for a defense-needing reliability right now. New defensive coordinator Christian Parker is reshapingly unit after a tough season, and he cannot risk more unknowns at linebacker. A solid middle presence would ease the transition pains. Fans might get excited about Alshaiier's fiery style and cover skills, which could spark some toughness. Still, the Cowboys need someone who handles run plays and racks of tackles without drama. Looking at the numbers from last year, Brooks posted 183 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, and 20.5 stops for loss. Alshaiier had 103 tackles, two interceptions, but fewer run stops. Career-wise, Brooks leads with 839 tackles and 63.5 stops compared to Alshar's 535 tackles.
