The Cowboys linebacker core has seen a bit of a turnover since the end of the 2017 season. Anthony Hitchens left in free agency to sign a monster deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Cowboys spent the 19th overall pick on Boise State LB Leighton Vander Esch to mix in with veterans Sean Lee, Jaylon Smith, and Damien Wilson. They also grabbed Chris Covington in the sixth round. So far, the forgotten man in the room has been fourth-year linebacker Justin March-Lillard.
The Cowboys signed the 24-year-old linebacker after being released by the Seattle Seahawks in September of last year.
