Cowboys Sign Former Bears LB Jack Sanborn, Reunite Him with Matt Eberflus

The Dallas Cowboys have made significant changes in their coaching staff, notably hiring former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator. In a bid to strengthen their linebacker corps, they have signed free agent Jack Sanborn to a one-year deal, who previously played under Eberflus in Chicago. Sanborn, a former undrafted player, had a promising start with the Bears, recording 164 tackles and 4.5 sacks over three seasons, although his role diminished last year. His move to Dallas allows him to reunite with Eberflus and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi, potentially providing him with more opportunities for significant playing time. The Cowboys aim to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season and are looking to the NFL Draft to further improve their roster. With injuries impacting key players like Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons last season, the Cowboys are hopeful that a healthier lineup will lead to better results in 2025.
