Ranking 2024 Top 12 free-agent running backs

[Hawkeye0202]

To be honest, not much separation from #1 to #12, just depends on the favorite flavor. Either way, it's a safe bet that one on this list will be a 2024 Cowboy starter (full or part-time).

Ranking 2024's top 12 free-agent running backsRan​

Given what they gave Miles Sanders last year, the Carolina Panthers probably won’t be sifting through the open market for a big-name running back this spring.

But just in case you were curious, here are the top 12 free-agent rushers for the offseason:

1. Saquon Barkley (Age: 27)​

Who's the cheapest and most washed up option out there, just asking for a friend.

100% don't care and want none of them.
In fact if we were to get one, I would not want one on this list at all.

 

[WhizKid]

It's all about getting the oline together (through personnel or scheme change), then whatever we do at RB, we should be good. If they pay up, I'd rather they not. If bargain shopping, I like D'onta Foreman. I'm not against bringing back Pollard if the price is right (and we improve the line).

Regardless of FA, we must DRAFT!
Any of these guys and I'll be okay.

Plenty of RB talent in the draft. To bad we don't have a 4th round pick, may actually be the best value in the draft for that position. Save the free agent money please for an impact DT.

I noticed the 4th round is a good place to take a RB. Depending on how the board looks in the 2nd, might be able to trade back and pickup a 4th.
Otherwise, wouldn't be mad at RB in the 3rd. Also depends on if we add someone in FA.

The Cowboys need to add a RB in FA and the draft.

The FA needs to be on a reasonable deal and the RB should be in the 3rd/4th round range.

Look lower than 12.

Zeke is only 28? Man he fell hard and fast.

I don't believe RB is that high on our priority list.

DT, LB, OC, CB are all higher on my list.

Their will most likely still be free agent RB's available after the draft just like last year.

 

[Teague31]

Pass on all of them. Draft one in round 3.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I'd look to the draft and pair that with a cheaper FA. The thoughts of landing a Derrick Henry are nice, but it doesnt seem like the best use of money for this team.

This^^^^ I wouldn't trust a 3rd or 5th-round rookie protecting Dak. Def sign free agent AND draft one

Yeah you nailed it there. Unless you're using the 1st rounder on a RB it's unlikely you'll get a ready to go 3 down runner who is also a great pass blocker. These 3rd round guys can often develop into that, and are typically still exceptional at one part of their game, but it's unrealistic to expect to plug and play them week 1.

I'm not sure I would even use a 3rd rounder. I would rather find a way to get my 4th rounder back to target one.

 

[VACowboy]

Give me JPJ, Antonio Gibson and Braelon Allen. POUND defenses.

 

[Mr_437]

Speaking towards the list, the guys 26 and under should interest a lot of teams. Cowboys should definitely sign one of these vets, and draft a runner in the 3rd to 4th round range. UDFAs and post draft veteran signings are welcomed too, stack the room.

yuck...!!! only Barkley is worth it and he is injury prone. perhaps a performance based contract.

 

[fivetwos]

That’s not a terrible list and none of them ought to be particularly expensive.

Singletary or Moss along with a 2nd or 3rd rounder and Dowdle ought to make an above average back field….especially if they can upgrade center.

If that’s how they go with the draft, they MUST come out of FA with some better options at DT and LB.

Can’t go cheap everywhere and still expect to win Stevie.
