Cowboys news: Malik Hooker identified as a “no-brainer” signing for the Dallas Cowboys

A healthy Malik Hooker would be a pretty significant boost to Dallas’ secondary.

The Dallas Cowboys went all-in on rebuilding a miserable defense from last season, saying goodbye to names like Aldon Smith and Sean Lee before signing several defensive free agents and using a first-round pick on linebacker Micah Parsons.

So why not add a dynamic safety to the roster?

Malik Hooker, the 15th overall pick in 2017, is still out there and just 25 years old. He’s been an injury risk for the duration of his career, hence the Indianapolis Colts declining his fifth-year option.
