They openly wanted better backs then what they had. The opportunity just didnt present itself with spending for more then a player was worth or reaching in the draft. We showed interest in Spiller, Bush, Ridley, and Ingram in FA but those either priced themselves out of had to many health issues. We also targeted most of the top backs in the draft but the draft didnt fall in a way where we wouldnt be reaching for back. Even after the draft Stephan Jones said they would be looking at possiblities at HB
Sorry but I disagree. There were several good backs in the draft up till round 7. We could have drafted Rawls in the later rounds rather than wait for him in free agency. He probably would have been a Cowboy by now if we just pulled the trigger on him. If Rawls was drafted by the Boys and there were indications we were very interested in him, he would have given all RBs a run for their money. There is a reason why Seattle kept him and not Michaels and weren't afraid to let Cmike go so easily.
We showed no interest in Spiller, Bush, Ridley and Ingram. It was nothing more than heresay. Just like we weren't really interested in Adrian Peterson to begin with.
There was talk of getting CJ here in Dallas. This one I have to really shake my head. All I can say once again FO totally messed it up with Chris Johnson.
Not only he would have been a perfect replacement for Murray. He would have been our top runner and one that can take it to the distance on every run. As of now, Arizona is quite please with Chris Johnson while we are here lamenting over the possibility of not having a RB that can break tackles. I just have to SMH.
