Dallas Cowboys may look to add Bobby Wagner for linebacker depth
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are considering adding linebacker Bobby Wagner to bolster their defense. After signing Von Miller, the team aims to address their linebacker corps, which suffered significant setbacks in 2025. While they have promising young players like DeMarvion Overshown, Wagner's experience could provide necessary leadership and stability. At 36 years old, Wagner is expected to play a limited role, primarily against the run, but his presence could enhance the unit's overall performance as they continue to develop younger talent.
