1. Anthony Barr, LB, Minnesota Vikings

The Cowboys linebacker corps has potential but is lacking some serious depth. Aside from standout Micah Parsons, you are looking at a constantly injured Leighton Vander Esch and a young defender in Jabril Cox who is coming off a major injury in 2021. Beyond that, Devante Bond just suffered a season-ending injury and Damone Clark may not play at all in 2022.

Depth is needed before it’s too late. That’s where Anthony Barr could come in. ESPN insiders even recommended the Cowboys picking up the Vikings’ LB many months ago, but no action has been taken. The eight-year veteran could certainly add some dimension to this team.

The linebacker is a four-time Pro Bowler. In 98 games with Minnesota, he has five interceptions, 17.5 sacks, 44 QB hits, eight forced fumbles, and 495 total tackles.

Although he is 30 years old and did sit out some games due to injury last season, Barr likely still has many more tackles and sacks left in him. Having another player who can be both a traditional linebacker and terrific pass rusher is worth the money the Cowboys have saved over the past few months.
