Summary
Dallas is being pitched to pursue Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman after Jordyn Brooks signed a three-year, $51.3 million extension with Miami and came off the market.
Cashman fits because the Cowboys were among the NFL's worst defenses in 2025—ranking 30th in yards allowed and 32nd in points allowed—leaving them in need of another proven defender.
The proposed price is modest: Dallas would send late-round draft capital, potentially two sixth-round picks and Minnesota's own seventh-rounder, for a player entering the final year of a three-year, $22.5 million deal.
Minnesota's case to move him rests on timing: Cashman is 30, had 61 solo tackles and two sacks in 13 games last season, and could return value before reaching free agency in 2027.
