Dallas Cowboys may target Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks for trade

Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are considering a trade for Miami Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Following a weak run defense last season, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted at a need for a significant defensive addition. Analyst Bryan Broaddus suggested that Dallas could pursue Brooks, who has a recent three-year, $51.3 million contract with Miami. Concerns about linebacker depth, particularly with DeMarvion Overshown injured, may necessitate this move. If Brooks is acquired, he could enhance both talent and leadership in the Cowboys' defense.
