LB is a major off-season priority.

Problem is outside of Patrick Queen or Devin White, I don't see a lot of quality in free agency. And we all know the Cowboys are scared poopless of premium free agents.

The draft doesn't look great either. Payton Wilson (NC State) is older (turns 24 just before the draft) and has had some injuries (two knees and a shoulder), but he reminds me of Fred Warner. I really like Ty'Ron Hopper from Missouri but he's under 225 lbs.

Oops, I forgot about Edgerrin Cooper from Texas A&M. He could be the guy.

We really need Overshown to fully recover and be a good player.

We also need another young GOOD LB.

STOP DRAFTING HURT LB’s.

That is Jaylon, LVE and Clark who they have gotten burned on recently by taking hurt players in the draft.
I don’t think Clark’s issues are hurt related.

Fred Warner didn't truly breakout until his 3rd year. Clark deserves another off-season. I think alot of fans are confused as to what the nfl landscape is in 2023. I'd say 8 times out of 10 if you draft a linebacker or d tackle they will take 2-3 years to breakout. And this is coming from somebody who never liked Clark as a prospect.

One of the most maddening aspects of this organization.

This is on Jones. He’s the GM. And why this team will never win anything.
