Cowboys Trade Up for Linebacker Dee Winters

0:00On April 25th, the Dallas Cowboys made ways on day two of the 2026 NFL draft by trading with the San Francisco 49ers to snag. Linebacker D Winters. Without a second round pick, they jumped ahead of their 92nd overall spot in the third round to grab him right away. This move plugs a big gap in linebacker that the Cowboys have been chasing since free agency kicked off. Winters bring speed and coverage skills that fit their defensive scheme perfectly. Fans are buzzing about how this shores up the front seven, especially after losing some key pieces in the off season. It's a smart play to build death without waiting around. This marks the second deal between these two teams in just a few weeks. The first sent defensive tackle, Osa Odiezuah, to the 49ers for that. Exact third round pick they're using now. Keep an eye on Dallas as they keep wheeling and dealing to reload for a run at the playoffs.
