Dallas Cowboys consider signing Bobby Wagner to improve defense

The Dallas Cowboys are exploring the option of signing free agent Bobby Wagner, as they address ongoing defensive issues following a 28-20 loss to the New York Giants in Week 1. Defensive coordinator Christian Parker has revamped communication strategies, yet the Cowboys' defense remains the league's weakest, ranking 574th in performance. With rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham stepping in for the injured DeMarvion Overshown, the Cowboys face challenges in on-field communication. Wagner, a proven leader and former All-Decade linebacker, could provide the necessary veteran presence for the young defense. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized the importance of effective communication to avoid self-inflicted wounds on the field.
