Cowboys Target Nakobe Dean as Defensive Upgrade in Free Agency

A report says the Dallas Cowboys plan to pursue Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean in the upcoming NFL free-agency window that opens March 11. Dean, who played in Fangio’s defensive scheme with the Eagles and has injury red flags, is valued around $7.9 million per year (about $31.6 million over four years). The Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator Christian Parker connects the teams, and Dallas could face competition from the Packers. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has signaled a big spend in free agency to bolster the defense.

Cowboys Hire Parker, Set Sights on Nakobe Dean from the Eagles

Dallas hired Christian Parker, a top defensive coordinator candidate from the Eagles, signaling a bold shift and hoping Parker’s Philadelphia ties can help lure Nakobe Dean to Dallas to upgrade a thin linebacking corps. Dean, 25, posted a 92.3 pass-rush grade (third among qualified LBs) with four sacks in 10 games in 2025 and would be a long-term cornerstone, though Philadelphia’s cap constraints and a potential 2025 first-round replacement in Jihaad Campbell complicate the pursuit.

The Eagles managed their snap counts strategically, with key players like Jordan Mailata playing the entire game, while others like Jalen Hurts and Lane Johnson rested during victory formations. Injuries affected the lineup, with Isaiah Rodgers stepping in for Darius Slay and Nolan Smith leading edge rushers due to injuries to Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham.
