Cowboys Target Linebacker Devin Lloyd for $60M Deal
2 Mar
Summary
- Cowboys seek major defensive improvements after a historically poor 2025 season.
- Devin Lloyd, a playmaker with five interceptions, is a top free agency target.
- Lloyd's potential contract is estimated at $60.4 million over three years.
The Dallas Cowboys are poised for a significant defensive overhaul following a historically poor 2025 season. Their defense ranked among the NFL's worst, prompting the firing of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. The recent hiring of Christian Parker, noted for his impressive resume, signals a commitment to improvement.
Dallas is expected to be aggressive in free agency, eyeing playmakers to address defensive deficiencies. All-Pro linebacker Devin Lloyd has emerged as a key target. During his fourth season, Lloyd proved his worth with five interceptions, including a 99-yard touchdown return, and over 100 tackles in his first three seasons.
Lloyd's versatility and performance, highlighted by a PFF grade of 89.1, make him a sought-after free agent. However, his estimated contract of $60.4 million over three years, averaging $20.1 million per season, presents a significant challenge for the Cowboys' salary cap. This potential signing could be their primary free agency move.
