Cowboys Targeting Okereke or Walker for Linebacker Boost
About this episode
The Dallas Cowboys are eyeing two free agent linebackers, Quay Walker and Bobby Okereke, to fill a void left by Logan Wilsons departure. Okereke, despite struggling in his last two seasons with the Giants, offers speed and versatility in pass rushing and coverage. Walker, on the other hand, had a breakout year with the Packers, showcasing leadership and sideline speed, but his coverage and run defense need improvement. With limited cap space, Okereke is seen as a more affordable option, while Walker may attract bigger offers.

It's March 5th for the NFL. Let's get into it. The Dallas Cowboys need help at linebacker heading into this offseason. They're showing strong interest in two free agents, Kwei Walker, a pending free agent from the Green Bay Packers, and Bobby Okareki, who the New York Karaoke, Giants just released. This gap opened up after Dallas let go of Logan Wilson, as expected. They also lack certainty with the Marvin overshown due to his injury history, even though his talent isn't the issue. Okareki had back-to-back rough seasons in New York, especially struggling against the run last year. Still, he's shown in past rushing and coverage before that, and he'd bring serious speed to the Cowboys' defense. Meanwhile, Kwei Walker just had the best year of his career, stepping up as a leader with great sideline speed and solid blitzing skills. Coverage and run defense remain weak spots for him though. With limited cap space, experts see Okareki as the smarter, more affordable option for Dallas, while Walker could draw bigger offers on the market.
