If the Season were over today, would you resign Pollard?

For a few years, and make him the top guy at RB on this team, or would you look to sign a RB in free agency, draft a RB in rounds 2-7??

As a Pollard supporter, I don't think the plan was to bring him back at the number he could demand. I think Dallas will draft a guy and move on.

This is Pollards big contract in the NFL. Everything after this year will be for much less. I don't see him back as a Cowboy unless he takes a dramatic pay decrease. Cowboys will draft a RB high next season and off we go. It's really unfortunate for RB's but that's just how the position works.

There are very few RB's I would pay 10 million a year to. Besides this is his 5th year. Time to move on. Pay the line, not the back.

We should have taken a back THIS year. Hopefully we will take one in rounds 2-4 next season.

I sure did want Jhamar Gibbs. No i would not resign Pollard but we got alot bigger issues to worry about beyond RB. Like OL and LB for sure
What a horrible pick Gibbs was. Knew it as soon as it happened.

OL and linebacker agreed. LVE must go.

Ya I wonder how he would have fared here. We need to upgrade the RB stable but Pollard is 5th in the league. Mcaferry is killing it

No. the decision to move on from him was made when the Cowboys tagged him. He has priced himself out of Dallas.

If he was interested in a reasonable deal in todays NFL running back market, that would completely different.
Could he ask for a good deal based off his current stats (assuming the season was over)

Based on team structure no. If there weren't so many other positions needed to pay I'd resign him for a couple of years

Six months ago I would have said you let him walk with no questions asked. With that said this past offseason RB contracts seemed to come down to earth a little bit. As long as that trend continues I would entertain the idea of Pollard coming back. I'd for sure play hard ball though and let him go to free agency. If he found a better offer I wouldn't lose much sleep over it and just take the comp pick.
