Looks like a few former Bears. Carter was a fourth round pick in 2011.

“@calvinwatkins: Cowboys official tells me team working out 4 RB and 1 FB.” It's okay that you say Bryan Broaddus.

“@dcounty: @BryanBroaddus so randle was a wasted draft pick!!?? Smh” Not at all. He has been the 2nd back all season.

jerry already spilled the beans.

Clutts? Perfect.

Yeah I noticed that too. I knew about Brinkley. But then I looked it up and he spent 2 weeks with the Bears in August. Thats it. Probably not alot of info to share.

Well, Bryan did provide names... Jerry didn't.

 

[basstapp]

I like Brinkley out of those guys.

You always provide us with the best info. Thank you.

Brinkley is the brother of Jasper Brinkley, who has been a LB in the league.

Allen is a jack of all trades type, but truly a master of none. He is a decent pass receiver, and can run a little bit, but gets nicked up very easily. He can return kicks as well.

Draughn is a power runner who lacks anything resembling speed. Likely would have been referred by Butch Davis, who coached him at North Carolina.

Carter is an interesting player. Compact, tough inside runner with some ability. Not sure why Indianapolis would have let him go.

That doesn't suprise me in the least.

My money is on jerry doesn't have a clue who they are.

He's the GM.

I'm in a mood..............

Gotta wonder about Randle if one of these RBs is signed to the active roster...is he injured or something?

carter is an interesting guy but he does put the ball on the ground alot for a part time player

likley just numbers. we lost a rb so we add a rb. randle does'nt have the blocking thing down well and i think they have taken tanner out of the equation all together. so a guy who understands blocking seems like a logical choice. carter is a tough inside runner but he has had some fumbles

 

[dupree89]

If they sign a RB, I hope its the quickest back they can find.

 

[dupree89]

here is the last sentence from the short blurb on Pro Football Talk....lol

Draughn and Carter have actually done some decent things at previous points in the league, but the Cowboys are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Surprised Javon Ringer isn't in the group. RKG and has size and toughness to carry the load in case Murray goes down.

Carter has some experience being an NFL back in a secondary role, I would hope they go that route. The other guys seem to be 3rd/4th backs at best.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Carter and Brinkley are both Syracuse guys. They are more bruising style of runners instead of quick like Dunbar. Out of the two, I think Carter was the better player. IIRC, he was 'Mr. Football' in the state of Ohio his senior year in high school.

None of those guys make sense if they are looking to replace Dunbar.

Don't know if they can replace what Dunbar provides at this point in the season. Even finding some slower, but productive talent to spell Murray would be a big help.

No, he's terrible.
