There aren’t many teams in the NFL who’ve had a more storied history of running backs than the Dallas Cowboys. That’s why it’s so strange to see the organization in a position where they’re searching for help at RB as the free agent well has essentially dried up.
After balking at the idea of paying top market dollars for the best RBs on the open market, even the secondary options have found new homes, leaving many to believe the Cowboys are high and dry in the backfield. That’s not necessarily the case, although there aren’t any prime choices left, there are some potential RBs who could help fill the void.
The best options remaining include a veteran RB who has bounced around, a first-round pick who never lived up to expectations, an oft-injured runner who has the talent to thrive, and a possible return from a former star. Here’s a look at who the Cowboys could sign to salvage the position at a price the team can afford.
