Dallas Cowboys explore savvy free agent options to elevate their defensive lineup after the NFL Draft.

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?
