Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys in Linebacker Trade Talks

0:00On March 31st, the Miami Dolphins are still wheeling and dealing after shipping Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos, and now, Limebacker Jordan Brooks is in the spotlight. This all-pro standout led the league in tackles last season, earned first team honors, and served as a team captain in his second year with Miami on a second. Three-year deal signed in 2024. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys have shown interest, but their exec Stephen Jones dropped some hints at the owner's meetings in Phoenix. He said they don't need a big veteran tray for Limebacker. They could grab the right draft pick and build around bets instead, with no rush to move. Before the draft hits, fans and analysts see why Miami might pull the trigger anyway. Brooks fits the mold for new coach Jeff Halfley, but the Dolphins aren't eyeing contention in 2026, his contract's final year, so trading. Him could net valuable picks to rebuild. New cap math makes it clear. Brooks carries a $10.9 million hit in 2026.

1:02Trading before June 1st drops it to $8.3 million, but waiting until after slashes it to just $2.5 million, a $5.8 million. Millions swing that screams smart business. All eyes stay on these two teams as talks could heat up post June 1st, potentially swapping current picks for future ones and reshaping both rosters. Before next season kicks off?
