Cowboys Target Lloyd for Defensive Overhaul

0:00On March 9th, the Dallas Cowboys are targeting Jacksonville Jaguars all pro linebacker Devon Lloyd to overhaul their defense after the worst season in Team history during 2025. That unit gave up 30.1 points per game and 59 touchdowns, the most in the league, which kept them out of the playoffs for a second, straight year. Lloyd broke out with the Jaguars last season, racking up 81 tackles, five interceptions that tied for second in the NFL, and 1.5, sacks over 15 games. His highlight was a 99 yard pick 6 off Patrick Mahomes on Monday night football, flipping a tight game into a big win for Jacksonville. Fans and analysts see Lloyd as the playmaker, Dallas desperately needs, especially after the Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberfluss. Following that dismal year and brought in Christian Parker from the Philadelphia Eagles for a fresh scheme. Parker promises a shift from Eberfluss' failed approach, but talent upgrades are key.

Projections put Lloyd's next contract at around $60 million over three years, making him a top priority as Dallas aims to rebuild and chase. A playoff return, this off season.
