Dallas Cowboys 2019 free agency primer: Linebacker
https://thelandryhat.com/2019/03/03/dallas-cowboys-2019-fa-linebacker/



...2018 was a vastly different story, however. Thanks to the first fully healthy year for Jaylon Smith and rookie sensation Leighton Vander Esch, this group soared. Entering 2019, there are a couple of decisions that will need to be made as depth at this position is still a little dicey.

The depth chart
Leighton Vander Esch signed through 2022
Kyle Queiro signed through 2020
Jaylon Smith signed through 2019
Joe Thomas signed through 2019
Sean Lee signed through 2019
Chris Covington signed through 2021

Notable free agent linebackers
Clay Matthews
Derrick Morgan
K.J. Wright
Thomas Davis
Jadeveon Clowney
Vincent Rey
Anthony Barr
Shaquil Barrett
Shane Ray
Pernell McPhee
Connor Barwin
Preston Smith
Jeremiah Attaochu
Najee Goode
Mychal Kendricks
Eli Harold
C.J. Mosley
Stephone Anthony
Deone Bucannon
Denzel Perryman
Kevin Minter
Jordan Hicks
Kwon Alexander
Jake Ryan

A few of these OLBs, on the list, would be evaluated as DEs for the Cowboys.

DAL has a sure 4 LBs (LVE, Smith, Joe n Chris) coming back. Lee would give them enough depth to sit out FA and draft at the position.

If Lee, isn't back, a player like Jake Ryan (torn ACL 2018) would be a solid depth FA pickup who could compete for the starting SAM spot.

Derrick Morgan BAU.... couldn't resist

Draft a LB with our 4th round comp pick

I like the idea. We need at least one more good backup.
