The Dallas Cowboys could really improve at linebacker through free agency.
With Stephon Gilmore set to hit the market, the Cowboys may look to invest in a proven young cornerback like Jaylon Johnson or L’Jarius Sneed. Dallas may also eye a wide receiver, as Brandin Cooks is a potential cap casualty.
Releasing Cooks with a post-June 1 designation would save $8 million in cap space.
However, run defense is Dallas’ biggest need, and the Cowboys have a serious lack of linebacker depth.
Targeting a sideline-to-sideline ‘backer like Devin White of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would help address the issue immediately.
