If Zeke's cut and of course Pollard returns what the Cowboys should do

[CATCH17]

Draft fresh legs.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Or both if the price is right

Certainly a possibility too. I’d prefer it. If Zeke is gone you need to draft a guy and sign a vet IMO.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Draft fresh legs.

That’s the NFL way it seems.

 

[Whyjerry]

Draft a RB in the mid rounds. Tank Bigsby would be a great choice.

just sign some udfa and replace zeke producton easy

people really over think running back in 2023 it is very simple

100%

We have Tony Pollard and he constantly displays he is an elite weapon and people seem to ignore that for whatever reason.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Draft a running back after the second round......

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

proven why pay tp 10mil if hes not the next guy up..no vets needed pollards a 4year vet, maliks year older, a draftee can step right in.. 10mil says welcome to RB!1 pollard and two young RBs to spell him..easy formula 16mil already counts agint this year RB cap with zekes dead cap..

Without a vet, you're going into the season with:

1) Pollard- coming off injury, and arguably not capable of being an every down back anyway.
2) Davis- an undrafted, unproven player with only 1 year of very limited experience.
3) Some rookie with zero experience, and zero proven production

I don't think you need to spend $10M to bring in an established RB. If you don't bring in a vet, you better be prepared to use a high pick on that rookie RB. You'll need one that can handle all aspects of the position, at a high level, immediately. No guarantee some random late round pick can do that.

YES

first off Pollards got the 10mil, hes the guy every down, no need spell, got Malik PLUS the drafted rbs easiest position to transition right away, that is as much or more then KC went into the season last year with..

Pollards injury is ZERO 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 issues..it max a 3month recvoery ..fracutre healed 100 already guaranteed. Its the high ankle sprain that take little longer but no points no second surgery this isnt a n ACL or ligament issue. not one bit of worry,.hes TC ready 100%

again, yes on all counts., pollard every bit as good as sander, Barkley, or whomever Washington rbs was already showed if. Again, that means we are set as much or more then KC or Philly was with their sb rb rosters..yup facts

If an injury occurs you bring in a vet street guy at that moment for the minimum, rb are that easy to replace REMEMBER the rhetoric about not paying zeke or any rb 2nd deal.yuppers we are set unless an injury occurs. get that OL fixed that what the $$$$ should be used for a physical LG steel back etc run game will move forward easily.

That’s ideal
But you certainly need to draft a guy
But the thing about the draft is you never know if a quality guy will be there when you pick. We really need a WR and guard. That guard needs to be able to start. But who knows at this point if either will be there at 26. My guess though is WR gets picked over early because they’ve got so expensive

 

[exciter]

If we cut Zeke, then rounds 1-2. You can't rely on absolutes in the third or fourth round. If you absolutely need to fill a position, then you've got to draft that player in the first two rounds (and even that's no guarantee).

However, I feel like if Dallas cuts Elliott, it will pick up a veteran for a couple million to pair with Pollard, especially with Pollard coming off injury. The team generally doesn't like being forced to absolutely draft a need, and the need for a back would be glaring.

You could get the production Zeke has provided the last 2 seasons from a kitchen sink. There’s absolutely no reason they have to get a back in the first 2 rounds to replace him. Pollard is now your starter. You’re looking for his backup!

 

[HanD]

get a vet in the 3-4 mil range like mostert just got. draft a rb in the 4th round range.

 

[blueblood70]

marking this down. So, you are putting how $$$ much on this

15 games, 850 yards, 12 tds, great blocker and short yardage extraordinaire. . when healthy, zeke was running well..both the last 2 years, might be tough for a Rook to get 12tds and 900 yards..but now malik and the other guy yes between them they can get that like 450 each and 6 tds each. i can see that one guys most likely not doing it.

 

[fivetwos]

Simple. Draft one on Friday, another on Saturday, then pair them with Pollard and Davis. Four deep. Let’s go.

A very nice start to that plan would be selecting that interior OL with the two last names. Too lazy to check on his name lol but a road grader guard who can play center sounds nice to me.

Don’t go thin on OL or RB, hope the coach means what he says about running the ball, and we have a much better shot in the playoffs with this QB than asking him to win it with his arm.

 

[Bullflop]

Bijan may be gone already by our pic, at #26 but Gibbs may be there. He's the #2 RB, according to NFL Network.

Lots of scenarios to consider, though. To be sure, there are other different choices to be made. (OT, LB, WR, etc.)

 

[Rally]

What the Cowboys should do is sign Jamaal Williams a great short yardage back who smells the endzone. Scored 17 TD's last year for the Detroit Lions.

D.Henry

 

[garyv]

Nonsense! Try not to be such a homer. There are multiple back’s available 2-4 who can start in this league and are more physical and less of finesse back than Robinson!

Name them in order outside of Robinson ?

 

[garyv]

They will 100% draft a RB if Zeke is cut, but they should still bring in a proven vet IMO.

And no first round RB. Let's not make the Zeke mistake again.

The first round on Zeke looked good early in his career but after 2nd season not really

 

[cowboyec]

i think they'll draft a RB within the first three rounds.
but there are some f/a backs i wouldn't mind seeing in ☆:
☆damien harris,ne
☆leonard fournette,tb
☆alexander mattison,minn
☆d'onta foreman,car
☆ronald jones II,kc

but i think it'll come thru the draft.

Rescind the Pollard tag
Cut Zeke
Sign a vet
Draft a RB in rd 3/4
