Yes Sir, some linebacker smackers

[CCBoy]

Robert Spillane, Las Vegas Raiders

Spillane signed with the Raiders in 2023 where he finally got a chance to start, playing in all 17 games in each of the last two seasons. He’s recorded over 300 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and five interceptions in that span. Spillane may be a late bloomer, but he’s a playmaker now and would be an instant spark to any team’s linebacker position group.

Market price: $10.4 million

Cody Barton, Denver Broncos​

After his rookie deal expired in Seattle, he played one season starting for the Washington Commanders and then last year starting for the Denver Broncos. Since becoming a starter, he’s had 100+ tackles in each of the past three seasons. Barton is a physical player who would be a solid run-stopping piece to any defense.

Market price: $6.6 million

Kyzir White, Arizona Cardinals​

White is a solid run defender. Being a former safety, he can also make plays in coverage. He’s patient in waiting for the play to develop, but when he goes, he goes. He is very effective chasing down running backs and tight ends in the flat. White won’t be a big impact player on defense, but he’s a reliable linebacker who has played in all 17 games in three of the last four seasons.

Market price: $5.8 million

E.J. Speed, Indianapolis Colts​

Speed was buried behind these other linebacker studs, but once he got his opportunity to start, he’s been very effective. He’s accrued 100+ tackles in each of the last two seasons, including 142 last year. And we can’t ignore his connection with the Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus who was the Colts defensive coordinator during Speed's first three years in the league. This is just one of those moves that make sense.

Market price: $5.4 million

Didn't realize they didn't tender him at all.
Only 25 years old too.
Not a bad plan b.

Really like White. He’d be a nice piece.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

None of these will ever be Cowboys.

Can he play MiKE?
I just can’t see them investing a lot at WiLL until they know for sure where Overshowns injury will turnout!

He didn't last long in Philly. Word was he liked to free lance too much.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Whoever wrote this needs their eyes examined because white is not a solid run defender. He's small and gets bullied. We have too many undersized players on D as it is.

Hadn’t heard that but he had a 137 combined tackles last year along with 2.5 sacks and one pick. Dude can play in the box or cover when need be. And his price tag wouldn’t be too high. For a team apparently strapped for cash and in need at LB, he’d be worth a look imo.

There is enough money, and hence a discussion as to merit.
