Cowboys news: Dallas has to decide how they will allocate the linebacker snaps this season

The Cowboys drafted two linebackers this year to go along with their two established starters at the position, and they signed safety-turned-linebacker Keanu Neal in free agency. There’s only so many snaps to go around, so who’s going to get them?

Rob Phillips: We’ve talked about logjams at certain positions over the years, and the truth is injuries usually dictate starts and snap counts over the course of a season, at least on some level. Hopefully that’s not the case here. At full strength, not everybody’s going to play as much as they probably want.
