Cowboys Acquire Former TCU Standout Linebacker Dee Winters as 49ers Add Fifth‑round Pick
Winters had 101 tackles and a 75-yard interception return last season as Dallas added depth at linebacker.
- On Friday, the Dallas Cowboys acquired linebacker Dee Winters from San Francisco in exchange for a fifth-round NFL Draft pick, according to sources.
- San Francisco made Winters expendable after re-signing linebacker Dre Greenlaw during free agency, while Dallas sought veteran help after failing to land Quay Walker, Devin Lloyd, and Nakobe Dean.
- Entering his fourth season, Winters is a young veteran with 27 starts under his belt, having recorded 101 tackles during 17 starts last season at weak-side linebacker.
- San Francisco now holds eight draft picks after the trade, including three in the fourth round, while the Cowboys surrendered their fifth-round selection entirely.
- This marks the second trade between these longtime rivals this offseason; the teams previously exchanged defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa for a third-round pick in March.
