Twitter: Would you resign Rico Dowdle?

[Zordon]

He's 26, low tread on the tires, well-rounded back w/ good work ethic. Maybe it's something to consider so we don't get into the offseason/draft with an empty RB room.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yes! That's one less piece the Cowboys would have to get in the off season.

Just add a high draft pick and your backfield would be set.

lol what?

No. Rico is a 3rd on most teams. He’s been here forever folks.

I think not. Put him on KC and he would get a 1000 yards. He has some power and some wiggle. Our blocking sucks. He is not a bad back.

 

[chuck520]

I would resign him to two years

so you just want to give him away to other teams, sure that makes sense

 

[baltcowboy]

Let’s see how the season ends. I don’t think Rico can last a season.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I'd re-sign him but i'd certainly let him test free agency to see what deals he gets. Running back should be priority in the draft they can't do this again.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Just because he is the best we have today does not mean we cannot get/find better. Also, no one is on the bat phone asking for a trade, so no, I wouldn't make an offer to extend.

 

[stinkface]

You missed the point. I am saying those who say he is 3rd string on other teams are wrong. He is a decent back.

 

[zrinkill]

No ....... you can get a Rico Dowdle in the middle rounds of any draft.

 

[bewp7]

no lol

u can get rico dowdle off any practice squad right now he is a nothing player

Rico try's extremely hard to be everything he is not, he is your classic over achiever, and I actually find that rewarding.
At least Rico shows up, because he runs as hard as he can but we have absolutely no body outside at WR or TE that can participate in a successful
block on the edge, to possibly bust around and hit a lane.
Nothing, nada, no assistance in outside edge support, just a bunch of standing around and looking backwards after the play is over.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

No way Jose, he is decent but so would a 3rd rounder. He looks great here because of what we have to compare him with. Also this is his first season being injury free… and we’re only halfway. Don’t get sucked in thinking he would be worth $4m-$5m per.

 

[HungryLion]

For backup RB prices? Sure why not.

The cowboys absolutely MUST draft a RB this upcoming draft. A RB who can be THE GUY.

But Rico is a solid backup. So if he wants to stay at solid backup prices. That’s cool.

 

[Tabascocat]

I wouldn’t prematurely throw a 3/12 at him for sure, let him test the market. But, Jerry does overvalue his guys….

 

[thunderpimp91]

I wouldn’t be doing anything yet. Really you don’t even know who’s coaching this team and what the offense looks like in a few months. I’d hold off and let the next coaching staff pick the groceries.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I'd rather dismantle the entire room and start completely over, but I don't hate it.
