3 low-cost free agents who could add depth if the Cowboys clean house at running back
Photo by Jason Miller/ One of these outside free agent running backs would make a nice addition to the Cowboys. One of the biggest decisions the Dallas Cowboys will have this offseason is what to do with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. The team will look to improve its offense while maneuvering around the challenge of having a high-priced quarterback on the roster. Will they restructure Zeke? Will they franchise tag Pollard? Will they do neither and go a different direction altogether? Yesterday, we presented the idea that the winning formula is putting the running...

The NFL is considering banning the hip drop tackle that injured Tony Pollard

Recently, players have argued the NFL is favoring the offensive side of the ball more than the defense.

Say goodbye to Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard as the Cowboys should follow this blueprint instead
Photo by Jamie Squire/ It’s time for an identity change in Big D. Running backs don’t matter. It’s a mantra that has been screamed from the rooftops by many fans who would rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass than spend one more minute investing resources at the running back position. For those people, the Ezekiel Elliott situation has had them seething ever since the Dallas Cowboys used their fourth overall pick to draft him in 2016, only to turn around and sign him to a six-year, $90 million deal in 2019. After repeated years of declining...

Cowboys free agents 2023: Terence Steele’s RFA status makes return likely
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports Thanks to an affordable contract option, Dallas’ right tackle should be back at his post next season. One of the Cowboys’ more important players with an expiring contract in 2023 is offensive tackle Terence Steele. Emerging as one of the team’s top offensive linemen last year, Steele shouldn’t be hard to keep as one of Dallas’ few restricted free agents this offseason. Unlike tight end Dalton Schultz, running back Tony Pollard, and others set to be in the large group of unrestricted free agents, Steele has only been in the NFL...

Report: Cowboys WR Michael Gallup underwent arthroscopic procedure in right knee
Photo by Michael Owens/ An update on Michael Gallup’s road to recovery in 2023. The offseason is still young for the Dallas Cowboys but a big talking point already has been the need for the team to add dynamic players at the skill positions in the coming months. This is a talking point these days because after Tony Pollard was injured against the San Francisco 49ers, the only explosive player left in the game was wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. This was obviously frustrating, but particularly so because a year ago in free agency Dallas gave Michael Gallup a long-term...

An argument to keep both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas
Photo by Richard Rodriguez/ The Cowboys offensive backfield has question marks with both Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. With the unfortunate end to an otherwise successful season, the Cowboys, just like any other NFL team, are faced with tough decisions in the offseason.

Although to many it may not seem like it, the franchise is trending in the right direction....

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The Cowboys running back suffered a broken leg in the Divisional Round game versus the 49ers. The Dallas Cowboys effort to advance to an NFC Conference Championship game for the first time in close to 30 years was thwarted by the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday.
