Locked On Cowboys - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys' linebacker depth sparks debate—will the front office target a veteran before training camp? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down the state of the Cowboys’ linebacker corps, dissecting potential additions like Jordyn Brooks and assessing the readiness of young talents DeMarvion Overshown, Dee Winters, and Jaishawn Barham. 

Special teams implications, position shuffles, and contract timelines add intrigue as Dallas weighs whether to prioritize experience or evaluate homegrown options through minicamp. The conversation shifts to George Pickens locking in his franchise tag and what it means for his future in Dallas, along with behind-the-scenes insights on front office caution in awarding big contracts. 

Plus, with no running backs drafted, the spotlight is on Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah—will either step up as the next RB2? The show explores the strategy behind the Dallas Cowboys’ draft decisions, key roster battles, and what these moves signal for the 2026 NFL season.

Dallas Cowboys explore savvy free agent options to elevate their defensive lineup after the NFL Draft. Could a veteran like Calais Campbell or DJ Reader be the missing piece on the defensive line, or is it time to add proven run stuffers such as Folorunso Fatukasi and Mike Pennel to fortify the trenches? 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool outline which defensive tackles and edge rushers might best complement recent draft picks Malachi Lawrence, Jaishawn Barham, and LT Overton, while also debating veteran presence and snap count management. 

Questions swirl around the Cowboys’ linebacker corps as they weigh potential additions like Eric Kendricks, Bobby Okereke, Elandon Roberts, and Shaq Thompson. Is another experienced linebacker crucial for depth behind DeMarvion Overshown and Dee Winters after last year’s injuries? Strategic moves could raise the defensive floor and boost Dallas in its NFC East quest. Will the front office pull the trigger to maximize Christian Parker's defensive vision?
