It’s common knowledge that the Dallas Cowboys need to improve at running back. Maybe everyone in Dallas, excluding the front office.
There is a huge void at tailback after Tony Pollard signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Tennessee Titans during free agency. Though they wanted to be Cowboys, they watched Derrick Henry sign somewhere else. They observed Saquon Barkley signing a contract with another NFC East competitor. They observed Austin Ekeler being signed by the Washington Commanders.
At last, the Cowboys added one player, but it was a very little addition. RB Royce Freeman was signed by them for a single season.
There were still superior choices available on the market even after losing out on the best RBs. One has since found a new residence.
