The Dallas Cowboys were expected to look to bolster their linebacking corps over the offseason. And that was before the ‘Boys recently released veteran ‘backer Logan Wilson.
Now, it’s almost a guarantee that Dallas will address the position in free agency, and perhaps a perennial All-Pro could be a fit.
Cowboys named best landing spot for Bobby Wagner
The Cowboys were recently named the best potential landing spot for free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner by Mason Cameron of Pro Football Focus.
Wagner has had a highly-decorated career that includes 11 All-Pro selection (six First Team, five Second Team selections), 10 Pro Bowl nods and a Super Bowl ring.
At 35, Wagner may be past his peak, but he’s still an extremely productive player, especially when it comes to blitzing and run defense. He started in all 17 games for the Washington Commanders in 2025 and tallied 162 combined tackles, 9 QB hits, 7 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks and two interceptions.
"Difficulties stopping the run this past season led to the trade that sent Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys. Although the massive defensive tackle alleviated some of those issues, the Cowboys still finished 28th in EPA per play allowed on designed runs and surrendered the seventh-most yards per carry on average," Cameron wrote.
"Adding Wagner — who has earned a 90.0-plus PFF run-defense grade in each of his past four seasons — to the middle of this defense would go a long way toward amplifying the entire unit."
