Curtis Robinson, recently signed by the Cowboys, is vying for a roster spot as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season. His experience at linebacker and on special teams will be crucial for Dallas, particularly given the team's thin position at the position. Acquired as a free agent after a five-year career with the 49ers, Robinson's journey includes limited defensive play but valuable special teams contributions. With a minimal cap hit for 2026, he is positioned as a backup linebacker with a 60% chance of making the final roster amidst a competitive group of candidates. Robinson brings leadership experience, having been a nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award during his time in San Francisco.
