Starting running back Rico Dowdle, who became the first undrafted player in team history to rush for 1,000 yards, is set to hit free agency and could demand a major payday.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_qo7hpp28p\"><strong>MORE: <\/strong>Cowboys trade back, get help in trenches in 7-round mock draft<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_kujtjree4\">Considering Dallas&#8217; history on the open market, Dowdle could be priced out of the range Jerry Jones and company are willing to pay.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7dr83466b\">That means Dallas would have to address the position in the NFL Draft or free agency. There is also the option of a trade, which is the direction Sportsnaut&#8217;s Andrew Buller-Russ goes with his prediction.<\/p>\n<div data-mm-id=\"_84jbbuob6\">\n<div>\n<figure data-id=\"_84jbbuob6\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><canvas><\/canvas><picture><source \/><source \/><source \/><img title=\"Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle celebrates his touchdown against the New York Giants.\" alt=\"Cowboys predicted to make bold trade with Jets for star RB\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle celebrates his touchdown against the New York Giants. \/ Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8aep8grop\">&#8220;Rico Dowdle may return, but the Cowboys still need more explosiveness in their backfield,&#8221; Buller-Russ writes. &#8220;Having clocked a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, Breece Hall would fit the bill.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_r5hbd2zkg\"><strong>MORE: <\/strong>Cowboys would ship Micah Parsons to Bengals in blockbuster trade proposal<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2nmbcomkm\">&#8220;Heading into the final year of his contract, the Jets may prefer trading Hall rather than paying a player that the new regime isn\u2019t invested in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div data-mm-id=\"_vfxgds7r1\">\n<div>\n<figure data-id=\"_vfxgds7r1\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><canvas><\/canvas><picture><source \/><source \/><source \/><img title=\"New York Jets running back Breece Hall runs with the ball against the Buffalo Bills.\" alt=\"Cowboys predicted to make bold trade with Jets for star RB\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>New York Jets running back Breece Hall runs with the ball against the Buffalo Bills. \/ Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1e2b4tdaj\">To make the potential trade even more intriduing, Hall is only 23 years old.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8vcez793l\">Hall has yet to make a breakthrough in his pro career and has only played in every game one of his three seasons, but he is on the final year of his rookie contract and could be an intriguing option for Dallas that would allow them to look elsewhere in this spring&#8217;s draft.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2iby9rr96\"><em><strong>\u2014\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Enjoy free coverage of the Cowboys from Dallas Cowboys on SI\u00a0<em><strong>\u2014<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2t2x78jkz\">7 running backs Cowboys should monitor at 2025 NFL Scouting Combine<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_39o70rdqa\">3 pass rushers Cowboys should consider at No. 12 in 2025 NFL Draft<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3hkmz4sqk\">Brian Schottenheimer&#8217;s full Cowboys coaching staff officially announced<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dv8h15h3g\">Cowboys add massive WR prospect, power running back in new mock draft<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_s1th10uy4\">Meet Kelly Villares: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Rookie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys are predicted to bolster their running game with a bold trade involving the New York Jets and a promising young back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":34766,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
