Perhaps the most complex position to evaluate this offseason for the Cowboys is at linebacker because of all the unknowns.
How the Cowboys approach free agency at linebacker will greatly be determined by whether they can re-sign unrestricted free agent Anthony Hitchens.
If he signs elsewhere, the Cowboys will likely be more aggressive in free agency trying to sign another linebacker. If he re-signs, the Cowboys could just turn to the draft to add depth at linebacker unless they like a veteran who could come at a bargain on the open market.
Other unknowns for the Cowboys at the position include whether All-Pro Sean Lee can stay healthy and whether Jaylon Smith can continue to progress and get closer to the player he was at Notre Dame before his serious knee injury.
