2-3 years. After that, he could fill the role of the MLB and spend more time focusing on just the run.

As long as his health permits, Lee will usually get a jump on plays with that astute recognition that he's so renowned for. He doesn't appear to be letting up, so keep your eyes peeled for him on defense. He's about as good as it gets at his position in my book. He should have a few more good years left, as long as his health permits it. He's 30 years of age, so you decide.

Lost a step? He had the best season of his career and was All Pro

The Cowboys need to start thinking about upgrading Lee, Witten, and Dez when the opportunity presents itself.

Yeah, he was on the short list for best linebacker in football.

I'm not sure an upgrade for the 2016 version of Lee exists.

Probably not.
He would probably be looked at as the best 4-3 linebacker in football if he could've stayed healthy during his career. We may never replace him.
Jaylon could be a great linebacker but I view him more as a Von Miller type then I do a Sean Lee.

Lee has another 2-3 good years left so spending the resources to replace him isn't a priority. That will take a premium draft pick and the Cowboys will have higher needs between now and then.

A guy hits 30 and way too many are chomping at the bit to replace him. Believe me, the staff will see the handwriting on the wall when the time is right to consider drafting his replacement. The depth we currently have is better than we've had in years, so no need to jump the gun here.

MLB is a physically more demanding position. They moved him away from that position in part to help reduce the wear and tear on his body.

I think it is probably a need position going into this next draft unless some of the guys we have drafted previously develop soon.

No one is suggesting he is on his way out yet but time marches on. No one expected the first preseason game last year to be the end of Romo either, but that's what happened last year. It just happened that we had really good depth at QB last year, we just didn't know it going into the season.
Jaylon may end up being Lee's replacement rather than his side kick. I'm hoping that doesn't happen to us this year at LB. it would be great to have Jaylon play beside Lee as General Lee II.

Which has everything with play recognition, anticipation, and prep. Some of the best LB's in history weren't the fastest players. Lee was a touch slower reaching the outside in coverage last year.
