It seems the Cowboys have no plan at LB " Inside The Star

"Not only did they sign free agent safety from the Arizona Cardinals, Jalen Thompson, to a three-year deal worth a max of $36 million dollars, they also made a trade pretty early in the day on Monday. They traded for defensive lineman Rashan Gary for a 4th round pick in the 2027 NFL draft."

"So, let's dive into this a bit, all the really solid guys that were on my list found other teams, and it was reported that Dallas looked into a few guys like Devin Lloyd from the Jags, but he ended up signing with the Carolina Panthers. Leo Chanel, a linebacker from the Kansas City Chiefs, was the last starting guy left on the market, and the Commanders signed him on Tuesday evening."

"Jerry has not done this, maybe ever, and always waits a week until he can get players for as cheap as possible, and he got two major spots that needed help, but linebacker is still an issue. If you missed it, after changing all the defensive staff, Dallas hired SMU defensive coordinator Scott Symons as their inside linebackers coach."

The Cowboys made early free agency moves to strengthen their defense, signing safety Jalen Thompson from Arizona to a three-year deal worth up to $36 million and acquiring defensive lineman Rashan Gary via trade for a 2027 fourth-round pick. However, the linebacker position remains unaddressed despite being a critical need. Top linebacker targets like Devin Lloyd and Leo Chanel signed with other teams. Dallas may pursue Patrick Queen through trade, though concerns exist about his performance metrics and tackling ability. The team hired SMU defensive coordinator Scott Symons as inside linebackers coach, emphasizing coaching's importance in defensive improvement.
