Entering his fourth NFL season and the final year of his rookie contract, Damone Clark has taken a backseat to other more recently added linebackers in Dallas. Could this trend go so far in 2025 as to push him off the Cowboys’ roster completely?
A fifth-round pick in the 2022 draft, Clark felt like one of the bright spots of that class a couple of years ago. After quickly establishing his potential as a rookie, Clark started all 17 games in 2023. But after Dallas signed veteran Eric Kendricks and drafted Marist Liufau last spring, plus got DeMarvion Overshown back from injury, Clark’s involvement plummeted to just 18% of the defensive snaps in 2024.
