Report: Don't be surprised if Cowboys bring Pollard back

[Risen Star]

One thing NBC Sports’ @MatthewBerryTMR learned coming out of the NFL Combine pertains to #Cowboys RB Tony Pollard:

“I’m told a likely landing spot for Tony Pollard is… Dallas? Yeah, apparently the Cowboys want to bring him back despite all of us thinking he had a down year. He wasn’t fully healthy for a lot of the year, but they like him a lot there and I was told: “Don’t be surprised if they bring Pollard back.”

The front office gave the reins to Pollard last season, believing in him as a No. 1 back. Now a full year removed from the injury and his positive stretch to end the year, they might re-sign him so Pollard and the front office can prove doubters wrong.

You don't see this happening due to cap issues.
He will probably be headed to D.C.

When it comes to the Cowboys and “their guys” nothing would surprise me.

 

[Silver N Blue]

I hope not...even though this would give JJ some "all in" shouts...TP is nothing more than a wingman to a legit RB1....let him go.

 

[NDGAEDE]

I would be fine with him returning in a reduced role. Still need a starter though.

7 years for $140mil! Get it done Jerry! Suck it KC!

 

[Big_D]

If true, this team is just ridiculous! They never know when to move on!

 

[zrinkill]

That will just show they have no interest in winning.

I think they’ve proven that a long time ago!

We all speak of Culture change around here, well the only way the culture ever changes is by players realizing the state of the economics.
If you want to be a part of this team then you are going to need to do so at a reduced pay scale, if you're not in the top 3 you're a reduced contract on this roster.

Jerry "Double Down" Jones.

"I'll show 'em! I'll prove I was right"

I'm against it because of the money. The Cowboys will over pay him. Nothing against Pollard.

Doesn't change the fact the Cowboys need a RB on day 2.

This is not a top heavy RB class this season but this is a draft in which mid round selections are very important.
Corum
Brooks
Benson
Estime
Irving
Just a few names that peeps need to become familiar with, there is a deep class for mid round picks, we need more picks round 3-6... lol

I wouldn’t mind seeing Estime drafted here.

And reduced pay.

 

[fivetwos]

Makes sense.

They’ve probably never heard of the other free agent backs.

 

[Typhus]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Estime drafted here.

He is a power downhill runner with quick feet and has proven to be a solid pass blocker at the collegiate level and if drafted would fill a major void for a while on rookie contract.

I'm not giving up on Luepke because of a stupid rookie error fumble at the GL, it happens.

This back field could change drastically from a finesse Pollard type to a Big physical type with one solid draft pick at RB to pair with a FB/HB Luepke.

Still want and need to draft a RB even if Pollard returns, but even more so if he does not.

Can't wait for the, "CMC contract is the basis for Pollard's deal"

That being said, I think last year was a true off year due to injury for Pollard and not his current ability.
Just keep it low guarantees.

Some are a little slow to catch on.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Fans are dumb.

All you hear are complaints about our crappy o-line (which it was) but apparently it’s the guy just coming fresh off a late season injury where his leg was facing backwards fault.

I wouldn’t mind Pollard back at a reasonable price and supplementing him with another talented back in the draft.
