The Dallas Cowboys’ run game, one can say this season, the Carolina Panthers game aside, has been one of the better units in football.

With Javonte Williams, the bell cow back for Brian Schottenheimer, rushing for 476 yards and five touchdowns, he is proving to be a very shrewd free agency pick-up.

But that hasn’t stopped fans from wanting the Cowboys to dip into the trade market to get a better running back, and yes, having a better “backup” behind Javonte while Jaydon Blue gets his feet underneath him is an idea I like, as far as replacing Williams? Not so much.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall continues to be mentioned as a trade candidate for the Cowboys, for reasons we don’t fully understand, and FanSided’s Christopher Kline thinks it is a move Dallas should explore.

There are a few problems with Hall to Dallas, so let me explain.

Why Cowboys won’t trade for Breece Hall

The first is that the Cowboys rarely want to “double dip,” as Stephen Jones says, and in Hall’s case, Dallas would have to.

Trading away draft capital for Hall, to then have to re-sign him to a contract that would be far more than Williams’ simply won’t happen, in my opinion, anyway. Williams is reportedly on roughly $3 million for this season, and the Cowboys aren’t big spenders on the running back position, especially after getting burned by Ezekiel Elliott.

The Cowboys don’t usually like parting ways with draft capital, and would the front office do it for what might be a one-year rental? Not likely.

The second is that Spotrac.com has Hall’s value set at $9.8 million APY. Dallas likely isn’t paying that.

So, while Hall to Dallas is a good idea, it should remain just that, an idea.
