Raising the Bar on Defensive Depth
The Cowboys are leaving no stone unturned in their quest to bolster one of the NFL’s most formidable defensive edges. Last season’s setback—with key contributors such as Micah Parsons and DeMarvion Overshown struggling with injuries—underscored the need for reliable depth at a crucial position. While Parsons and Overshown form the defense’s present and future, acquiring an experienced linebacker could prove pivotal as the team builds for enduring success.
Harold Landry’s Track Record
NFL insider Tom Pelissero has reported that the Titans are moving on from seventh-year linebacker Harold Landry, a move that has placed his name prominently on the market during free agency. Over his tenure with the Titans, Landry recorded an impressive 50.5 sacks, achievements that highlight his capacity to change the dynamics of a game. Having earned Pro Bowl honors in 2021, Landry’s performances have sometimes positioned him among the elite edge rushers in the league.
A Potential Franchise Changer for Dallas
Despite his undeniable talent, there may be challenges ahead for the Cowboys. The asking price for Landry is likely to exceed what Dallas is willing to commit financially. Nevertheless, the prospect of landing a player capable of elevating the defensive front offers a tantalizing option for a squad that has already demonstrated significant promise. With the Cowboys continually refining their strategy and a keen eye on supplementing their key positions, Landry’s blend of experience and on-field prowess could represent a franchise-changing addition.
