What is the actual plan at LB?

The question should be, what 3rd-4th round LBs would be good fits in Dallas?

Those seem to be the money rounds to get one.
 
Dexter Coakley is coming out of retirement so we can trade him for a 2nd

It seems that is said about him every offseason, but he continues to produce. We need a LB that knows how to communicate, keep an eye on alignment, and play his keys.

The biggest issue I saw from this defense last season was communication. Somebody was always lost on any given play, which led to busted plays on just about every drive. Downs should help in the secondary, Wagner adds another field General in the middle of the defense. A physical should determine if he can still move. If he gets hurt, we still have a proven, successful mentor to coach up the younger linebackers. It's a smart move.

..should have kept Kendricks for cheap. He helped SF have good year.
 
If Dallas does not get a LB in the draft who can start right away My guess is Dallas will be active in 2nd half of FA or looking for trade to bring in LB. Every year after the draft FA heats up again as teams try to fill voids.

-Trading up to get Rodriguez
-Trading for Brooks
-Signing Bobby Wagner

It's hard to say which one, but it's probably one or a mix of these. I'm mildly freaking out about Dallas' LB room right now. It's rather empty.

I would say mix because even if trade for Brooks, you still another one because our LB’s s—- last season.
 
They can still sign a veteran like Wagner or Okereke (I think both are still out there). I think Miami would want more than a 3rd and 4th for Brooks and I don't want this team sacrificing 2027 picks which are scarce.

Let me preface this by saying that I LOVED DOWNS.

What I am trying to understand is. What in the actual you know what is the plan at LB?

Now not only will the green dot in this defense be a rookie, a 3rd to 7th rounder rookie is supposed to do that job?

Are they trading into the second for Rodriguez or Hill? Are they hoping that CJ Allens pro day makes him fall to the third? What is the plan? Because unless Downs can play MLB we are in trouble there.

Downs can be the green dot. They will get a veteran linebacker and draft at least 1 or maybe 2.

Yeah I heard Kenneth Murray is available. You literally said tons of free agency left until I pointed out the Lbs then immediately switched to trades.

Maybe go look and research before typing the first comment you think of.
 
get Sean Lee and Leighton Vander Esch out of retirement. Dat Nguyen as well for depth.

I would also like to know the plan....considering our FO did NOT address this position in FA.
