News: Cowboys plan to sign RB Miles Sanders

[Blue&Silver]

Believe it or not I think Sproles falls somewhere in there along with Jay Ajayi and that one running back they got from Oregon Blunt.

Okay. Yeah I struck out with McCoy. He was treated in 2015 I thought I read. Sanders was drafted around 2019. Time flies. I remember Sanders was behind someone prominent. If it was Sproles that something thank you

Sanders and his agent were probably shocked that a team contacted them so early in free agency. Your Dallas Cowboys boys and girls.

Westbrook’s last season in Philly was 2009

Mccoy’s last season in Philly was 2014

Sproles’ last season in Philly was 2019 but he was old and didnt play

Sanders was the starter from day 1.

What you could be remembering is that Sanders is famous for being Saquon’s backup in college at Penn State

I could be wrong, it's a vague memory.

Sanders averaged 3.7 yards last season & 205 total, compared to Dowdle's 4.6 average and 1,076 total.
Newly added Williams also averaged 3.7.

For about the same price as the 2 Jags Dallas brought in, Dallas could have simply retained Dowdle- a far better back.
Jerry is truly brain dead.

Their logic is if they pay less for a player, it doesn't hurt as much if they miss. If they signed Dowdle and he failed, they didn't get their $6 million worth. If Williams failed, then $3.5 million is easier to stomach.

It's a poor strategy since you get lesser players by being cheap, so they could miss more easily on both Williams and Sanders than on Dowdle.

Thank you. I knew he was a backup to a highly regarded Eagles RB, and I know there were only a couple so that means Sanders was a backup to McCoy. Westbrook was a backup to McCoy. I think that's the combination

Bro, he (Sanders) never backed up McCoy either.

This better not stop is from getting a good runner in the draft cos this gut is another meh runner

I hope not either but this is the cowboys. Head scratching moves are the norm

Miles Sanders is a better back than Dowdle

 

[TwentyOne]

Eagles trash and we sign him

Maybe he is working on his Karma?

He had the highs in the East. Now he wants to know how it feels to be at the other end of the scale.

Thats why he is coming to us and dowdle left?

Yes thats why.

You know all this why don't you tell me who he backed up? Never mind. I know now. I also know they finally made him 1 in 2022, and let him go in 2023.

Talk about dumpster diving. Sanders looks shot! He’s rushed for less than 650 yards the past 2 seasons and has averaged under 4.0 a carry. We better hope we hit on a solid back in the draft or we’re going to be worse off at RB than last season. It’s obvious we’re not looking for quality. We’re just adding bodies.

 

[Blue&Silver]

I could be wrong, it's a vague memory.

Yeah, I'm with you. It seems so long ago

Westbrook’s last season in Philly was 2009

Mccoy’s last season in Philly was 2014

Sproles’ last season in Philly was 2019 but he was old and didnt play

I went back and looked yesterday. They had a running back by committee, and no traditional number one. They went to Sanders in 2022 exclusively, and he got a majority of the carries. That was his best season then they let him leave in 2023. He was on the team that had Sproles, Howard, and Scott all getting carries. I do remember he backed up Barkley. They both were really really good at Penn State.
