Everyone can see it—linebacker is the weakest spot on this roster. That’s why this free agency has been so frustrating. This isn’t hindsight. The need was obvious, and the options were there if the front office actually wanted to fix it.
Instead, we get the same routine every year. Jerry Jones and Cap Boy talk about “going all in,” then disappear once free agency starts. At some point, how is anyone supposed to believe them? Their words never match their actions.
We’ve watched this pattern repeat itself. They needed a running back, Derrick Henry was available, and they passed—only to bring back a washed-up Zeke on a big deal. They let Amari Cooper walk and then spent years wasting picks and money trying to replace him, never finding a true WR2.
Now it’s linebacker, and somehow they’re making the exact same mistake again.
You can’t keep blaming the salary cap when the same issues show up every year. Jerry Jones and Cap Boy simply struggle to identify and acquire the right talent, whether through the draft or free agency. That’s the core job of a GM. Instead, there are too many yes-men, not enough real football voices, and Jerry still wants to be the smartest guy in the room. This is the result.
I honestly thought things might change after they hired Parker as DC. It felt like a step toward a modern defense. Instead, another free agency passes while we hear about “busting the budget,” and the linebacker hole is still wide open.
What makes it worse is the talent was right there:
Devin Bush
Quay Walker
Nakobe Dean
Leo Chenal
Bobby Wagner
They could’ve signed at least two and fixed a major problem. Instead, once again, we’re left hoping coaching, luck, and miracles can cover up a glaring weakness.
Same front office. Same excuses. Same results.
