It's now clear that Jayron Kearse won't get his wish for No. 0 but, following lots of roster movement and a trade, he'll come very close to it with his new jersey for 2023.

With DeMarvion Overshown lost for the season, an opportunity for a hybrid safety to spin down to the second level is needed, and McCarthy sees it being an answer to thin depth at linebacker.

The loss of DeMarvion Overshown throws a wrench in the Cowboys' defensive plans, but not one that they don't already have an emergency plan for, and his name is Markquese Bell.
