One key area still on the Cowboys’ radar is inside linebacker. Bobby Wagner has repeatedly been linked as a potential target, with observers labeling him a “bargain” option who could provide immediate impact and veteran leadership. Wagner, entering his mid-30s, posted 162 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two interceptions, and four defended passes in 17 games last season, underscoring his continued productivity.
Dallas currently has roughly $20 million in cap space to work with and remains active ahead of the 2026 season. Wagner’s market value is projected to be in a range that could fit within the Cowboys’ financial plan, making him a plausible addition either through free agency or a short-term deal. In addition to free agency, Dallas can leverage its draft capital, including two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, plus several later-round selections, to further bolster the roster.
Overall, the Cowboys appear poised to remain active this offseason as they pursue a balance of immediate upgrades and long-term development. While the current core has shown promise, management continues to explore strategic moves to position Dallas as a legitimate Super Bowl contender for the 2026 season.
