Would need in linebackers allow for this?

Dallas Cowboys: A valuable free agent the team should sign
https://thelandryhat.com/2020/05/05/dallas-cowboys-valuable-free-agent-sign/

...Matthews is the type of player who can rotate to multiple positions, drop in coverage or rush the passer. He brings value inside the locker room as well with his leadership, experience, and, of course, talent.

I’m not saying Matthews should take the place of a starter in Dallas. But he would be a great insurance policy for the team’s top three linebackers as he’s a proven veteran who still has a lot left in the tank. Last season, Matthews racked up 37 total tackles, 8.0 sacks, three pass deflections, and two forced fumbles in 13 games for the Los Angeles Rams.

The remaining question mark for the Dallas Cowboys signing someone like Clay Matthews is his price tag. His most recent signing was with the Rams for two years at $9.25 million in 2019. In order to reunite with Mike McCarthy, and considering he’ll turn 34-years old this month, Matthews might be willing to sign a more team-friendly deal to join America’s Team.



The veteran edge and experience would be off the chart if Matthews were added as well...

Why not kick the tires on the guy? Let's see if he can be productive for at least a year in Nolan's hybrid defense.

I like it!
He has always been a play maker. I think he still has something to offer and wouldn’t cost to much.

Only 8 LB's on the roster right now. They have a lot of camp bodies at OL, DB, even a few on DL. They can replace a few of them with a few LB's. Can't hurt to bring him in.

In MIke Nolan's multiple front defense, some players listed at DE will play snaps at LB (i.e. Anae, etc.).
