Twitter: Cowboys have expressed interest in trading for RB Duke Johnson

he's a good back .Shifty and quick. If he can stay healthy, he would be a upgrade behind Zeke and can actually start some games for us if something happens to Zeke.

Dukes pass blocking is poor though.Thats my worry.

The guy can also help in the slot in the passing game. If this team is paying $5 million and $6 million to backups who barely play in Sean Lee and Allen Hurns, paying an actual contributor like Duke Johnson makes much more sense.

Why? I mean, scoring was not why we lost last year. I don't agree.

Because its ******. Any success this offense has is because of Zeke, Dak's mobility and Cooper. This offense doesn't make anyone better or allow them to use their strengths to their advantage. Its outdated and needs to go. Its years overdue.

And to my knowledge Duke's contract is for a 1+ plus this season.....and by year 3 its around 4.6 million. Very affordable.

About $5 million next year and $6 million by 2020.

Higher than you would hope for, but again, when you're paying stiffs like we are, it's peanuts for a guy that actually produces.

caveat being IF HEALTHY. I think in our system he will prove highly valuable and productive. The Browns didn't use him right.

I don't agree. It's not the Offense, it's the Coaching Staff. Either way, I don't see that happening so what's the point of going down this road?

Rayman70 · Mar 6, 2019

the coaching staff is a cluster**** and we all know about the Jones boys. lol

The offense is a result of the coaching staff lol. The outdated playbook is on the coaches lol.

Rayman70 · Mar 6, 2019

ever hear of too many chiefs not enough Indians? THATS THIS COACHING STAFF. No one ON THE STAFF has clearcut authority. ALL THE AUTHORITY resides in the luxury box with the Jones'.. NOT GOOD. THEIR LIES THE PROBLEM.

atlantacowboy · Mar 6, 2019

Yes, our DL is falling apart. Lets focus on acquiring a back-up RB! That will be our offseason indulgence. Typical jones.

I stand corrected. Well now I feel a little different about the move lol. Unless he actually has a role on this team but if its the Lance Dunbar/Lucky Whitehead role.....its not worth it.

Last I checked, Duke Johnson hasn't missed a game in his NFL career.

No, you would have to have a solid plan for him. But like I said, if he can help both as a running back and in the slot? That's a pretty nice roller him.

I agree. But I have a strong feeling.....either Beasley is brought back or they draft a slot receiver. I don't think the plan is to just go with Hurns and play Cooper there even though that's what they are selling. Its kind of hard to see what the future of this team is without knowing what Moore's role will be. Is it his offense or is he simply calling Garret's plays?

If you listen to Jones, he wants Moore's new ideas. That leads me to believe that I feel it's not his offense entirely, he will have a great amount of influence in it. If not, everyone is being done a disservice by half-arsing it.

Garrett will get fired. Moore will get fired. Everybody will get fired.

I guess you didn’t hear also that we have a new offensive coordinator. Jeez, some of the fans don’t pay attention.

Duke Johnson isn't a 3rd down back though lol. He's a change of pace back who can play some slot for you and be a receiving threat and cause mismatches.

Just like Nyheim Hines drafted in the 4th round last year, playing on a rookie contract for the first 4 years of his career? Just like Tarik Cohen drafted in the 4th round 2 years ago, playing on a rookie contract for the first 4 years of his career? There's plenty more examples, but i don't have the time....
