Signed by Cowboys Dallas signs RB Ronald Jones

[Big_D]

A vet with game experience.. nice signing. Now 2 in the draft! Then you have a nice RB room and great competition heading into camp.

 

[_sturt_]

Not putting any stock in this as-if significant. There was an expectation that he would be a substantial asset in KC last season, but that didn't happen. As far as I can decipher, that wasn't because of injury. He just didn't earn snaps, evidently.

Jones, Dowdle, Davis, still does not make up the loss for Zeke.
But are a heck of a lot cheaper. So many will be happy. But can they get 12 TD”s.
Unless they do something else at RB, this equates to 3 less wins So far.

Don’t take this so seriously… better say that before any missiles fly.

I don't mind this signing either but is the running back pecking order now Pollard, Jones, Davis and Dowdle?

Pollard
Jones
Davis
Dowdle

Dowdle will likely not make it. Jones is dependent on a draft pick

 

[MonsterD]

Pretty meh but not a bad attempt to help to have a pool to choose from for RBBC. Need a fast dude in the draft too.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Call this a "just in case" signing. Gives Dallas a true RB 2 in case the guys they are targeting in the draft are gone.

 

[stiletto]

Already an improvement over Zeke. For all those wanting Bijan at 26, he probably won't be there anyway. The Cowboys are going to take a stud OL/DL I think.

 

[KingintheNorth]

So much USC.

Fight On!

This is a good signing for depth purposes. It's small enough that it doesn't preclude us from getting a draft pick and either bumping Jones to third string or even off the roster if Pollard returns to full health and the draft pick is any good. Got to have someone who can step in just in case, and Jones has at least shown that he can.

Probably until a draft pick changes it up.

 

[Risen Star]

Doesn't make much sense but I'll wait until after the draft.

 

[Reid1boys]

I like Jones. I watched him closely (big fantasy player) and thought he was gonna be the man in Tampa, then old man Lenny just had that great playoff run. Jones is young and definitely worth a sort term cheap deal. The guy is hungry and wants touches. This is making the draft easier and easier IMO as the team is setting themsleves up nicely to draft the BPA and not in need of a specific position. Now they can see what comes to them and what seems to be the best fit at the time of the draft.

FA is still ongoing.

 

[Reid1boys]

Why he sucks? Stop signing unnecessary players. Draft a rb

he does not suck.........smh

Yes.

Yep....cant wait to do 3 straight delayed handoffs up the clogged middle....wooohooo.

Oh wait.....km is gone.....theres our real improvement.

 

[Hardline]

His two QBs were Brady and Mahomes.

 

[Reid1boys]

Curious what made him the 3rd string/healthy scratch in Kansas. Thought he was decent in Tampa to start his career before Fournette took over.

because the chiefs had big draft capital in CEH... wasnt he a first rounder, and that other kid they have runs damn hard and is very explosive also. Just no room for Jones.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I think this might kill any chances of the cowboys drafting Bijan.

NOT at all.........if anything, they don't think Bijan will make it to 26 IMO. If he does, he will be a Cowboy.......take it to the bank (lol)

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Jones doesn't play ST so that's why they re-signed Dowdle this morning. Jones, Dowdle, and Davis will be battling for one spot assuming Dallas drafts a back.

If they don't draft a back, Dowdle is likely secure in his ST role while Jones and Davis battle for RB2 behind Pollard.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

They are just covering the bases so they don’t have to reach in the draft. Jones and Dowdle could be camp casualties for all we know.

Exactly.........
