One vet RB I can get behind signing is Moss. 4 years in the league he is only 27 and started a bunch of games. Would cost less than half as much as the big names. Add a day 2 draft pick to him and the RB position is set.

Cowboys Free Agency: Low-Cost Answer at RB in Zack Moss​

FRISCO - One of the positions the Dallas Cowboys will be addressing this offseason is running back. With Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle expected to hit the open market, America's Team has been linked to some big name free agent replacements.

Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Austin Eckeler and Saquon Barkley have all been linked to the Cowboys at some point.

But those players - as effective as they could be - come at tremendous cost. The Cowboys might need to shop for more of a bargain in their current salary cap situation. One possible answer could be Indianapolis Colts ball carrier Zack Moss.

Moss is projected by Spotrac to sign for two years and $9.2 million. An absolute bargain price compared to Henry, who is expected to get more than double that for a one-year deal at $10.3 million, and Barkley, who Spotrac predicts will sign somewhere for three years and $29.9 million.

If the Cowboys are looking to save some money at running back. Moss could be a good low-cost signing.

He'd be an ok piece, but we would need another back to pair with him.

Get a rookie.

You can find a superstar at any point in the draft most years.
True but if he's affordable why waste a draft pick on somebody that needs to be developed.

The draft is all important this season but we still need to have guys with nfl experience that can hit the ground running.....the key word though is AFFORDABLE

You don't have to develop RB's though. Pacheco didn't need much developing and he as a 7th rounder.

Guy averages 400 yards a year.
Don’t forget his career best 5 TDs. Sure they’re saving money but going right back to the exact situation they were in before except Pollard’s better. I certainly don’t see a RB that will pay dividends come January with this signing, but at least they saved a few bucks.

I rather go get AJ , draft a guy, and lets roll. Let them compete and carve out a roll. SPEND THE MONEY on a premier back. AJ is still very very good. Maybe get him on a 2 year deal. The caveat is, we still need to draft a back. I want to see Deuce Vaughn have a great camp and maybe get onto the field more in the rotation.

Go list every RB drafted in the past 10 years and then tell us how many are superstars.
