Can The Cowboys Save Leighton Vander Esch?
Theres no reason to think Leighton Vander Esch cant be a Pro Bowl linebacker again. - The Daily Blitz Podcast  FRISCO - Leighton Vander Esch might be playing for another team in 2022. The Dallas Cowboys have declined the fifth-year option on his rookie deal that wouldve paid him $9.1 million that season. Welcome to the Daily Blitz by DSP Media in partnership with CowboysSI.com. That contract decision doesnt mean the Cowboys arent interested in having Vander Esch back in 2022, but rather that they simply they didnt want to and couldnt afford to pay him $9 mil plus. Health. First and foremost, health. He must remember how to play linebacker while healthy. Stop the Sean Lee comparisons, because those just insult recently retired Sean Lee - because Leighton has rarely been as good as the retired Lee was when healthy. Lets discuss!
