The Dallas Cowboys are exploring a potential trade for linebacker Jordyn Brooks, aiming to address long-standing issues in their linebacker corps. Brooks, an All-Pro selection after leading the league with 183 tackles in 2025, could significantly enhance the Cowboys' defensive lineup. The proposed trade would involve the Cowboys sending a 2027 Round 2 pick and a 2028 Round 4 pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for Brooks and a 2028 Round 5 pick. This move is viewed as a crucial step in the Cowboys' efforts to bolster their defense after a poor performance in the previous season. If the trade materializes, it could provide a solid foundation for the team's improvement heading into the 2026 season.
