A Free Agency period filled with departures continued for the Dallas Cowboys today, as the Oakland Raiders have reportedly signed the now-former Cowboys LB Kyle Wilber.

Wilber has been with the Cowboys since 2012, and has played in all 16 games four of the past five seasons. Most of his time has come on special teams, but he did provide solid linebacker depth for the Cowboys since joining the team.
Dallas has now lost both Wilber and Anthony Hitchens, depleting their linebacker depth even further over the last couple weeks.
The Raiders have now signed two key special teams contributors for the Cowboys in Keith Smith and Kyle Wilber this offseason. Hopefully Dallas can replace these types of “replacement level” players throughout the rest of the offseason, especially during the NFL Draft.
We just lose more and more players and do nothing in free agency like last season. People keep talking bout cap, bout yet the other teams with worse cap than us are even making moves. Are we really about to rely on 10 draft picks to change everything??
We have the 4th WORST Cap space. What the problem is all the years of Dead Money, Restructuring contracts (Kicking the can down the road)
I liked Wilber for depth. Could play both outside LB and DE in a crunch. Guess they thought they could do as well in the draft for cheaper.
