The Dallas Cowboys continue to add to their defense. After trading for former first-round cornerback Kaiir Elam, Dallas is signing veteran linebacker Jack Sanborn.

Sanborn went undrafted in 2022 out of Wisconsin before signing with the Chicago Bears. In his three seasons, he’s played in 49 names and logged 19 starts. He has 164 tackles and 4.5 sacks for his career.

With DeMarvion Overshown’s availability for 2025 in question and Eric Kendricks being a free agent, Sanborn is a nice guy to snag before addressing the position again in the NFL draft. Marist Liufau will need some help to start the year, and the Cowboys will likely add to the position in the draft.

He has previously worked with defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus in Chicago, and he has plenty of special teams experience. He is a player who can help in multiple ways and has experience with the defensive coaches, so he can help teach parts of the scheme to other players.
