Cowboys Eyeing Bobby Wagner, Drafting ILB
About this episode
The Dallas Cowboys are seeking to bolster their inside linebacker position, currently thin with only DeMarvion Overshown, Shemar James, and Justin Barron as options. Theyre considering the draft or a trade, possibly for Jordyn Brooks from Miami. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who coached Bobby Wagner in Seattle, is keen on Wagner, who had 162 tackles last season. Fans recall mixed results from past offseasons, like signing Ezekiel Elliott after skipping a running back in the draft, and trading for George Pickens after missing a wideout. Overshown has had durability issues, making reliable depth crucial. Wagner is expected to draw interest in free agency, so the Cowboys may consider locking him up before the draft to strengthen the position.

NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Cowboys Eyeing Bobby Wagner, Drafting ILB. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
It's March 31st. This is NFL news to Dave football coverage powered by AI. Dallas Cowboys got a glaring hole at inside linebacker right now. They beefed up edge, corner, and safety spots, but heading into training camp, their only options inside are, Demarvian overshown, Shamar James, and Justin Barron. That's thin so they're eyeing the draft or maybe a trade like for Jordan Brooks from Miami. Their offensive coordinator Brian Schadenheimer is hyped on veteran Bobby Wagner. He coached with him in Seattle for three years and calls him a total stud, still balling at a high level. Sounds like the doors open if things line up post draft. Fans remember mixed bags from past off seasons. Two years back, skipping a running back in the draft, led to signing Ezekiel Elliott, which bombed. But last year, after missing a wide out, they traded for George Pickens and he exploded. Schaden's been durable issues his whole career, so they need reliable depth beyond any rookie. Wagner just posted 162 tackles last season, and teens will swarm him if he hits free
agency. Cowboys should lock him up before the draft shakes out, stacking that position deep even if it means some luxury. That way, no scrambling later when injuries hit.
