In order to earn his role as the Cowboys lead back, Rico Dowdle literally had to believe in himself before anyone else did. | From @BtchesLuvSports

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle showed he is more than capable of being a viable offensive piece and warrants a roster spot in 2025.

Jeanty is a big missing piece of Dallas’ puzzle. He has to be the pick at 12 if he’s still on the board. If he isn’t then you go to the fallback position of landing a running back in the second round. But you still find an offensive playmaker in the first round.

Five strategies the new Dallas coach must implement in Dallas to become a successful Cowboys coach. | From @ArmyChiefW3

The Dallas Cowboys are still in search of their next head coach, but once the vacancy is filled, the new coach will immediately have to fill his staff and determine where the Cowboys can most improve.

If the Dallas Cowboys want to improve their rushing attack in the offseason, one speedy former first-round pick presents an intriguing trade option.

The Dallas Cowboys are once again in the market for a running back this offseason. Here are four free-agent running backs the Cowboys should target.

The Cowboys were projected to select Boise State running back and Heisman finalist Ashton Jeanty with the 12th pick in Luke Easterling's latest 2025 NFL mock draft .

Pollard departed in 2024 free agency and Elliott returned, but only to be released ahead of the season concluding as it was Rico Dowdle winning the role of RB1 with the first-ever 1,000-yard rushing season produced by an undrafted free agent in Cowboys' history.

The Dallas Cowboys must assess their backfield this offseason likely through free agency or the draft, but could a trade land them the No. 1 option the offense needs?

Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook did not get to see the field much in 2024, and the team made him a free-agent again this week.

Rico Dowdle broke out in the second half of the season, but the Dallas Cowboys were still one of the worst rushing teams in the NFL in 2024. They rushed for 1,705 yards which is their third-lowest output since 2000.
