Cowboys to Sign Chiefs LB to Replace Leighton Vander Esch?​

After the loss of Leighton Vander Esch to a season-ending injury, inside linebacker is a glaring need for the Dallas Cowboys defense this offseason.

If Jerry Jones is true to his word of being "all in" in 2024, then fans should expect the Dallas Cowboys to be among the spenders in free agency. After years of being prudent in the offseason, mostly building through the NFL Draft while typically bargain-shopping in free agency, the Cowboys claim they are looking to push all their chips to the middle of the table.

With inside linebacker, offensive tackle, and running back all looking like areas of improvement for the Cowboys, they could solve some, if not all, in free agency. CBS Sports has Dallas addressing their need for an inside backer by signing Kansas City Chief Willie Gay Jr.

At 6-foot-2 and 243 pounds, Gay brings the type of body the Cowboys need at the second level. The former second-round pick out of Mississippi State started in 15 of his 16 games this past season for Kansas City, totaling 58 tackles, four for a loss, one sack, an interception, and a forced fumble.

If being "all in" is truly the goal for the Cowboys this offseason, then Gay is a signing that the Cowboys could make that wouldn't break the bank but would certainly improve their roster.

Luvu is a guy who would make a lot of sense and isn’t like a 14,15,18 million guy. Probably in the 10-11 range (which lets be real probably still too expensive for these guys lol). He’s very good against the run, pressuring the quarterback and getting tackles for loss.
His coverage is average but I think with our secondary we can mitigate that.

Beyond him I’d be fine with jewell who’s in the 6-8m range, al shaair, Wagner. Likely we end up with a Jordan hicks or Kendrick’s if he’s released.

A prototypical LB. Nice. But don’t forget the DT position.

We need a Mike LB with 150 combined tackle potential.

I am tired of seeing DB's lead the team in tackles during any game.
