Likelihood of trade/waiver wire addition of RB?

[ElGatoGrande]

Love Tony Pollard and Deuce Vaughn as big play guys but it feels like the cowboys are light @ RB. Would like to see a punishing RB in the lineup...

 

[SHAMSzy]

Ronald Jones will have a bigger role than most fans expect.

 

[Havic]

Vaughn is a big question mark right now, we have no idea what he is going to do here.

 

[beware_d-ware]

We really need another RB, to be honest. Malik Davis is your classic RB3 type, and Rojo and Vaughn are both fringe NFL players. I don't want to give any of those guys 100 touches.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Alfred Morris is available

 

[Hardline]

One of the biggest mistakes this team could make is going into the season without another proven veteran RB .

Very small unless there is an injury.

They are happy with Pollard, Davis, Jones and Vaughn.

Alfred Morris is available

and Darren McFadden

Like Zeke ?

Doubt it, he is camp fodder at best.

Why is Luepke not in this conversation?

Why is Luepke not in this conversation?

Probably because he is considered a FB or TE. Just a guess.

If we have a downfall this year, it will be because of this.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

We can always resign Zeke.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

I agree about the need. Management feels otherwise as evidenced by the draft.

Do we need another RB ? ... or are folks really wanting more of a " familiar name " RB ?

The lineup doesn't fit the "power running game" they supposedly are striving for either. Surely anybody that shows up on the waiver wire will just be a spare along the lines of Ronald Jones so I'm struggling to see a real plan here unless Zeke is the insurance policy,,, and he's starting to become a spare himself!

According to the FO, it's zero.
1. Tagged pollard who should be healthy to start the season.
2. Malik showed a little something last year
3. Signed free agent vet
4. Drafted a late round RB who can catch. Also signed a full back after the draft.

Why would they sign anyone else right now before TC or pre season games? You have to at least wait till camp at this point.

As much as I did not like like how they approached the RB group or lack of it this off-season. But can't disagree with this. ^^^^
As I said it myself a few times over the summer, they will ride with who they have through TC.

Just as they will with the OL.
