ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz has listed the Dallas Cowboys as a potential landing spot for Miami Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Brooks, a first-team All-Pro who led the league with 183 total tackles last season, could be a valuable addition for a defense in need. The financial situation has shifted since June 1, allowing the Dolphins to save his $8.3 million salary if traded. This speculation arises as the Cowboys look to strengthen their defensive unit under new coordinator Christian Parker. However, they face challenges with their lack of draft picks in the upcoming loaded class if they pursue this trade.
