The Dallas Cowboys have been relatively quiet during the early parts of the 2019 NFL free agency negotiating period. The Cowboys will stick with one of their own, which means their love for fullbacks will continue in 2019.

The team has agreed to terms with fullback Jamize Olawale on a 3-year deal worth $5.4 million in total. The deal will contain $2.8 million in guaranteed money.

Olawale came to the Cowboys in 2018 after the team sent their 2018 fifth-round pick (No. 173 overall) to the Oakland Raiders. In return, Dallas obtained a Oakland’s sixth-round pick (No. 192).

He will lead the way for Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott once again this coming season, when the team uses the fullback of course. Olawale, although playing in every game during the 2018 season, he only played a total of 114 offensive snaps.

Olawale had been hyped up as a fullback who can also catch the ball out of the backfield, but in 2018 he only recorded 13 receiving yards on two receptions. He had zero rush attempts in 2018, but the hope for Cowboys fans is that new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore can change how he was utilized.
