\n Cowboys “not done” with offseason additions: “We got some more to do”<\/p>\n

Adding to the secondary and defensive line have been a major emphasis for Dallas in free agency and in the trade market, as the Cowboys acquired OLB Rashan Gary, DT Otito Ogbonnia, S Jalen Thompson and CB Cobie Durant among others. Still, there is a glaring need at linebacker, the only defensive position Dallas did not make an addition at this offseason.<\/p>\n

“We made a run at some guys in free agency. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t,” Schottenheimer said.<\/a> “And what do you do? You just adjust. It’s something we’re working on 365, 24-7. We’ve got a good plan. We’ve got firepower now going into the draft. We’re not done. We’re always open for business. So part of it’s going to be [DeMarvion Overshown] having a tremendous year. Shemar James is a guy we’re excited about. But we recognize we’ve got to fill some holes there.”<\/p>\n

All three of Schottenheimer, Stephen and Jerry Jones said they would be comfortable with a rookie handling the middle linebacker\/green dot responsibilities<\/a> in the defense if it’s the right player. Could that be through a trade or in the draft? Maybe both? The next couple weeks will tell. Wide receiver was a need for Dallas going into the offseason last year, the Cowboys did not draft or sign a WR2, and ended up making a trade for George Pickens after the draft, and a similar scenario could happen this time around too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cowboys “not done” with offseason additions: “We got some more to do” Adding to the secondary and defensive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":851672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2066],"tags":[230,229,257,2461,94906,7,417,1901,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-851671","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas-cowboys","8":"tag-cowboys","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dallas-cowboys","11":"tag-dallascowboys","12":"tag-featured-offseason-2026","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-news-all-news","15":"tag-news-tommy-yarrish","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116342033405221227","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=851671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/851672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=851671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=851671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=851671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
