Summary
The Cowboys are rolling the dice on Jaishawn Barham, a versatile linebacker from Michigan they drafted in the third round, hoping he’ll be a steal and fill a critical inside linebacker void as they shift to a three-four defense. Though he played mostly off-ball in college, Barham showed elite pass-rushing ability at the edge his junior year — and his adaptability makes him perfect for Dallas’ evolving scheme. With starters DeMarvion Overshown and Dee Winters, Barham’s likely a backup but could see big minutes if injuries strike or the run defense needs a boost — and if he delivers, he could be the affordable gem the Cowboys hoped for.
